I think this kind of stuff could be handled in new architectures. For example the Adamantix project could be merged back by creating an architecture i386-adamantix for the stack protected stuff, and the other parts being a "CDD" by the terminology of the above link. (I do not know enough about the history of the project to tell if its developers would consider merging back a good idea or an organisational impossibility. But the main point is not about that, or even that project in particular.) -- GNU GPL: csak tiszta forrásból
