May I suggest that you indicate when you leave something out from a
quote with "[...]"?  In this case, your way of quoting makes it look
like something rather different from what was originally written: "I
don’t think UNIX is a particularly good multi-user OS — the access
control model is arbitrary and coarse grain. There’re improvements
like SELinux, but a CLOS generic function in Elisp will do much
better."

In other words, the author is saying that Elisp would be better for
implementing access control, not for implementing an OS.
