Hello, I wonder whether it is possible to convert hardened desktop

recompile world with vanilla compiler (no hardening) and compile
gentoo-sources kernel (no prob with those), but how can I get clean,
non-hardened profile for portage (if it is even possible)?
Short answer: I have no idea :) But I'd like to ask why you want to
dump the hardened profile. Is there a significant disadvantage to
the hardening? I've been wanting for awhile to try hardening but I'm
basically to lazy to Just Do It(TM).
Virtualization is iffy if you're not careful which options you enable in
the kernel.
Rarely, an upstream developer will do something weird in his code and it
will break an unstable package.
They say the nvidia drivers don't work, but they do anyway.
Chances are, you won't notice any difference, but you'll gain a tiny bit
of peace of mind.
