So the question is : do you want
some/all of these features in devel, and which ones ?


There are some problems with security/hardened patches. The big one is that usually they are not updated immediately with new version of applications. So you can choose up-to-date version of application or its stale version with security patch. Of course some users prefer new version another prefer "secure" version.
If we integrate these security features into normal grimoire we will have to add next VERSIONs into DETAILS of spells. Stable, devel, cvs and for example selinux version.
We need more developers for it. It is easy to add security patch to apllication once or twice. But keep them up-to-date and test them with all options it is a lot of work.
