How long did it take for Hardened GCC to move to 4.X?  And we are still 
lacking SSP support in the tree. We have lost almost all dev's in the herd the 
past years.  As for hardened-sources we are working on it but that work has 
not hit the tree yet and that not a good situation. It will hit the tree soner 
or later. We work on our free time to and we don't have all the free time in 
the world to work on it. There is a long todo list. It is very time comsuming 
work on the toolchain, kernel, docs, bugs, recruit and help users at the same 
time. As tree dev that do all the work but we have users and some devs that 
help out too and that we are thankful for ther help. Hopefully we have 
something on the  hardened-sources after next meeting. 

@ Paweł Hajdan, Jr. you could ask in hardened-kernel@gentoo.org what thay need 
for help or join #gentoo-hardened @ freenode.net
And the hardened-sources in the hardened-development overlay have some 
regreesions that we are working on to fix.
Sorry if i bing roude.
