aehm, oeh, yes ;) ... It seems I can release it now since it works in 
production on 2 machines in a cluster at a big customer as a router and VPN 
gateway routing ~1000 connections / second with two Syskonnect SK 9844-SX 
dual NICs using VETH to get LACP :)

Anyway, it'll take some time before I release it. Expect it at the beginning 
of next week. You may take a look at the changelog for now tho.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcp/tmp/2.4-WOLK-CHANGELOG

I got ~50 requests to add grsecurity 2. So I did, but not as an replacement 
for grsecurity 1.9.15 but instead as an replacement patch one has to apply 
manually to 4.15s. It's kinda the same addon structure as 2.6-wolk has.
So with 2.4-WOLK you can decide whether to have grsec1 (default) or grsec2 :)

P.S.: WOLK is safe against this:

      So don't shit your pants :)

ciao, Marc
