And how about KSPP and other similar projects, that tries to continue the idea 
of community-friendly development based on latest release available to wide 
public (or, maybe some other, that was grown in parallel with PaX)?

I personally very dislike Brad's behaviour.
Not only closing the source from public.
Not only blackmail to ban from updates for customers that will public the 
patches.
But also his trolling against KSPP:
Firstly he cried they steal his work (yup, steal. OpenSource. Lol).
Then he stated that he wants that KSPP stated *both* that their work is based 
on Grsec *and* that they have no connection with grsecurity at the *same 
time*.

So, it looks like he does not really care about Linux Security. He only cares 
about his business.
Which is against my vision of opensource community principles.
So, since that time I have no non-offensive words to describe him anymore.

So, I previously decided to take latest available hardened-sources patchset 
and maintain it (mostly, fix for new kernel releases) locally for my needs, 
until Gentoo Hardened will migrate to KSPP, or KSPP will merge all of the work 
into "vanilla" Linux.

But since I read this notice, I'm very sad about the destiny of Gentoo 
Hardened. It was the best solution for production servers, imho. But news like 
that makes people think that it (Hardened Gentoo) starts pre-death agonia. And 
that's very and very sad :'(
