10 Meanwhile, the title reflects hardened profiles, but the updated
11 conditions aren't viewed only on hardened. The no-support-for-<gcc-4
12 policy would seem reasonable for most profiles (don't know about the
13 exotic archs). Either the title should be updated to reflect that it
14 applies in general (not just on hardened), or the condition to display
15 only on hardened should be maintained. Either way, making it clearer in
16 the body as well would be wise, so people seeing it only on hardened (if
17 it applies only to them, for example) will have less chance of missing
18 that, if they have regular installs as well.

20 But I don't remember whether multiple conditions are ANDed or ORed; they
21 should be ANDed here, if it's to apply to ONLY hardened with <gcc-4.4
22 installed.
