Because they have a patchset of thousands of lines and grsec has refused to break them up into parts so that they can be reviewed and patched in incrementally. Some of these patches in grsec are also controversial.

Couldn't you accept the patch (for copyright purposes) then revert immediately. Then split the patch up and add it in piecemeal if desired - at least kernel programmers could use it if they wished then?

  Why bother with the commit and then revert? Put it on a branch.

  Linux devs don't assign copyright, so if licenses are compatible they have to just take the patch and work on it.
