The fact that a specific security patch that is very invasive and comes with
some large tradeoffs was never submitted in a form suitable for merging is
*not* the same thing as kernel developers not having a sense of security.

Note that large sections of what used to be in the grsecurity patch *have*
been reworked, submitted, and accepted into the kernel.
