Ok, but if you check the site[1] of Debian
Secure by Default, you are going to see that they are
proposing the use of PaX and other security related
stuff, in a similar way of Lorenzo (Debian Hardened).

What I proposed in the previous message is
to join efforts. I believe it is the most logical
thing to do, work together to provide even more
security in Debian. :)

Let's call it: Debian Dirty Harry! :-)
Just kidding, at this moment I'm more
concerned with the idea of don't "split" our
forces. I know the importance of slogan and
project name, and I'm certain that *working
together* we can achieve a great name and a
fantastic slogan!
