But isn't this mean you forbid all Linux distributions (including commercial ones like RedHat) to be GrSec/PaX subscribers (in case they like to spend some money for it)? I.e. this decision will ensure majority of Linux systems will never ever have GrSec/PaX (yeah, in theory some RedHat user may subscribe and manually recompile own kernel, but we all knows this never happens - at large at least, but very likely at all)? -- WBR, Alex.
