Don't kill hardened yet - Porting the patch forward is complete

Hello Everyone,
I just heard that gentoo-hardened will be scrapped by end-of-month. 
Well, I have some good news - it doesn't have to be. A project has risen 
up to continue supporting the patch on future kernels and I have been 
running it successfully for over a month with the stock hardened 
profile.

You can download the patches here, they are also GPG signed:
https://github.com/minipli/linux-unofficial_grsec/releases

So-called "linux-hardened project (KSPP)" and "SELinux" do not even 
slightly compare at their current stage of development in terms of 
kernel hardening and PaX protection. In the mid-term, I would recommend 
using these forward patches for hardened-LTS 4.9.x and hope 
Gentoo-hardened will continue for awhile longer while we wait for 
further improvements.

Thank you for your time and concern.
