As I mentioned, it can't be called PaX or grsecurity. I also don't think it makes sense to expend time on this. It won't support new hardware and systemd will probably increase the minimum kernel version before the 4.9 LTS is end-of-life. Effort spent on 4.9 is effort not spent on anything that will actually last. If someone decides to do this, they'll also be taking responsibility for maintaining PaX exceptions, etc. and handling any bugs caught by the features or false positives. There will be new issues introduced as the LTS gets changes backported to it.
