lol, grsecurity went fully closed, probably in an attempt to stop the Kernel Self Protection Project from making it obsolete

My beef with spender is irrelevant, but spender's attitude towards pretty much everyone else in kernel dev is relevant, as is licensing.
Non-technical merits like those are actually critically important to acceptance of a free software project. They can make or break it.

They also result in downstream technical issues. E.g. grsecurity not being merged makes it often incompatible with out-of-tree modules.

Complaining about spender's attitude is a beautiful example of victim shaming, and plz don't make me grep LKML, it's a long-standing issue.

Sure, but let's not go off topic. The topic was "KSPP making Grsec/PaX irrelevant".I take that you agree these are not competing technically

My point is that being upstreamed is as much a technical achievement as coming up with the mitigations in the first place.
