Agreed. Too much time has been wasted on pointless discussion over this.
Let's enable this, rebuild packages, and if there are regressions
- either change to non-pie for specific packages
- or revert the change.

Microbenchmarks get us only so far, we need to know the impact the
change makes for the whole system. We won't know that until enough
packages have been rebuilt.
