Would a read-only root filesystem goal be feasible ? Might not be by default, but this helps a bit, and it may even prevent root from breaking things by accident. I don't know if this can be considered a security feature, though, but probably in some way.

I have been using my main debian server for few years with a read-only /, and the only annoying thing is the 'mount: / is busy' issue after an apt-get update phase, but otherwise things are fine.
