which raises the question again:

would it be not the better way to build the whole distribution hardened
by expierience that nearly anything is exploitable over the long and
performance comes after security

performance would be increaded by many developers learning what to do to
prevent wasting ressources much more as do not ANY technique to make
things more secure  security is a concept of many pieces and each piece
makes the overall system better
