Gentoo has long provided a hardened kernel package, but that iscoming to an end. "As you may know the core ofsys-kernel/hardened-sources has been the grsecurity patches. Recently thegrsecurity developers have decided to limit access to these patches. As aresult, the Gentoo Hardened team is unable to ensure a regular patchingschedule and therefore the security of the users of these kernelsources. Thus, we will be masking hardened-sources on the 27th of Augustand will proceed to remove them from the package repository by the end ofSeptember."
