i would be all for it ...
i dont use any of the kernels in sys-kernels for a variety of reasons ... but 
one kernel that i use in many places (routers/servers/etc...) is a hand 
rolled vanilla kernel with just the grsec patch ...
in other words, i would utilize this new kern on my boxes :)
it would also be pretty sweet to have up-to-date support for grsec ... brad 
has done amazing things with his latest code.
