That's a pretty horrible article. There are security extensions to Linux like SELinux. There is nothing stopping anybody from forking Linux into a more secure version. That would be the best way to solve the problem.

The issue is that mainline is not interested in merging it, leaving most users vulnerable (since using a Linux fork in a production environment is something most users aren't going to do, even if there are clear benefits).
