Thanks everyone for answering my questions so far.

It's too late to make that sort of change for FreeBSD 7.0, but I think
that's a good goal for FreeBSD 8.0.
Here's what I think you could do:
1. Verify that enabling SSP works properly.
Ok, I will certainly do that once 7.0 is out and I can run it for a
while on our testing box.
2. Convince Kris Kennaway to run his mysql benchmarks on a FreeBSD 8
system both with and without SSP to verify that there is no
significant slowdown.
Hmm, I guess Kris is not subscribed to -security? Maybe I'll have to
post in -questions then...
3. Get it enabled on FreeBSD 8 by default.
4. Request that the change be made to FreeBSD 7.1 or 7.2 after it has
proven to not cause problems on FreeBSD 8.
Ok, but what's the best way to go about that? Don't see that being
documented in the handbook. Do you suggest a post on -questions or a
send-pr or both?
