Matthias if you wont do the job right, just don't! You are not maintaining something when you are not doing it right! Please step down and let someone else take over! Debian needs to be secure by default! Ubuntu has been running with hardening patches for more than about four years now. Both Fedora and SUSE are also using different solutions to provide a hardened by default system Debian is a quality system and it is unacceptable that we are still not using the hardening options by default. > This is likely the core of the disagreement: how to apply the > flags.
