Agreed, Russell is free to do what he wants.
However, other Debian developers benefit from having accurate information, to
base their opinions on. And so far I have seen statements on PaX that have been
anything but accurate.
I'm not in fact trying enlist volunteers. I try to offend as many Debian people
as possible, so that they choose exec-shield. This to ensure that Adamantix
will has an edge in security over Debian in the future. And it seems to be
working very well so far.
Besides that, I can imagine that gr-security does not work on the current
Debian kernels. But really, PaX and gr-security are two completely different
things. PaX is related to gr-security in the same way the Linux kernel is
related to Debian. It is just a part of it, but the PaX project is independent
of gr-security.

Good idea! Already did that in fact. So who do I send this new kernel-source
.deb to?
