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. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
