It appears that there were no major concerns. I will follow up #835148 and request PIE by default for the following architectures. * amd64 * arm64 * armel * armhf * i386 * mips * mips64el * mipsel * ppc64el * s390x Should you be a porter for an architecture not listed above and want PIE by default on your architecture, please follow up on #835148 as well (or a file a new wishlist bug if #835148 is closed when you do it) NB: The omission of powerpc was intentional as there were no porters supporting it during the roll-call. Thanks, ~Niels
