Does this mean you're done with all other kernel hardening changes you
wanted to make this summer?

When are we getting the kernel update to RHEL6'ish into Owl?

When are we updating glibc?

I don't mean to hurry you up on these - in fact, I have difficulty
finding time to process your previous set of changes - I am merely
asking about your plans/preferences.

Thanks,

Alexander
