      there will be more discussion tomorrow about the exact nature of any future plans/collaborations concerning grsecurity, but right now grsecurity is going to be 100% out.

         finally, the embargo on this issue was not helpful, as we have seen with the rushed KAISER backport, it just lead to bad solutions in the LTS branches making them no longer usable.

         the only usable branch with a mitigation is the current stable or mainline.
