My proposal: build ALL packages in Fedora with not only -fPIE and RELRO, but 
also -fstack-protector-all (which is not included in the current hardened 
cflags). Also get rid of prelink which reduces the effectiveness of ASLR. 
Then drop SELinux which becomes obsolete if the executables cannot be 
exploited in the first place. (It only papers over the real problem.)
