I am not saying ssp is bad, I am saying it is only a small tool in
debuging/development and should be kept that way.  If there are trust problems,
then ssp is used and the end user is not trusting the developer of the program
anyways.  Oh you don't know lawyers (or non open source companies) that well
when it comes to IP :).

You are talking about gentoo end users and end users who actually semi care
about being semi developers which have to be problem solvers.  You forget about
real end users like say a game player.  He does not care why your program
crashes, he just wants a fix or he might just ask for a refund since your
program does not work.
