But beyond that, I don't really see a reason that gardening must be

community to promote cross pollination (no pun intended) of tools and

Yes - especially when it comes to things like marking stacks and data
sections non-executable and adding better linker flags and similar
cleanups. Previously those were applied to ON and then marketing
would tell people Solaris was more secure when it was really only the
20% of Solaris that comes from ON. I made some of the same changes to
X, and got CDE & JDS to do a few as well, but most have not propogated
to all Solaris. (Safe Default Permissions is one of the few that did,
since the W-Team got all the consolidations to do it, and Secure by
Default is doing the same - but most others consider ON to be good
enough, but it's not if you're claiming to improve all of Solaris.)
