Grsecurity Developer Spender's Feelings on the State of Linux Security

Grsecurity languishes in (relative) obscurity because no distribution ships it. I know several people who know about it and would pick the option if it was distro-supported. If you don't get automatic updates it's a non-starter.

Popularity in distros would put a lot of pressure on the mainline kernel and might get things moving there.

Alpine Linux ships it, and while they're not a major distro, I get the impression they're not "insignificant".

Arch Linux has it in the repos but it's not installed by default of course.
