>It's that the code has been RUN BY USERS for months. If it's been [...] in grsecurity for five years [...] It only means that hardly anybody actually ever ran it. Subtle burn towards Grsec, I laughed a bit. In all seriousness, I think Linus is somewhat on the right track. Security Patches should foremostly not break anyone's workflow (maybe except the evil haxor's workflow) and rather print a warning until the exact implications of a full Terminator-mode patch is understood. Because people won't upgrade to kernels that break their workflow and a warning in the kernel log is better than a vulnerable kernel.
