[gentoo-hardened] Re: [grsec] Gentoo Grsecurity Poll

[Ned Ludd]

Brad, 

Thanks for responding your blessing was the one I wanted to see the most
before jumping into this. We got a fair amount of feedback from various
people using both grsec1 & grsec2 and everybody was for a pure grsec
only kernel. 

To meet the needs of everybody my initial plan will be to add both
2.4.21.1.9.11 and 2.4.21.2.0_rc2 unless you have an _rc3 planned for 2.0
in the next few days and then removing 1.9 when you deem 2.0 as stable.

Supported arches will be x86, sparc, sparc64, alpha, parisc, and ppc
