https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardened_Gentoo

That wiki page is very seductive.  It makes me want to drop everything
and select a hardened profile and re-emerge everything from scratch.

But I have a feeling I'd soon be in big trouble if I did.  Is this
something that only gentoo devs should be messing with, or is this
a project that a typical gentoo end-user might hope to accomplish
without frequent suicidal thoughts?
