Yes, I definitely understand that, and I really intend to provide enough
help to minimize the burdain on existing team members which don't care
about that featureset.

It's a bit hard to tell. Putting aside the various security backports
(mainly relevant for the 2.6.32 patch), the size seems to have decreased
a little since 2.6.39 (and risen in the 3.0 serie).
Feature-wise, Brad Sprengler and the PaX team still add stuff, like the
gcc plugins or hardening features like symbols hiding, fix bugs (for
example in RBAC code), while few of them reach mainline.
