The linux stack patch is not part of 2.0.33, and will never become
part of 2.0.x for any x. It is a new feature, and new features will
not be added to Linux 2.0.
Whether this is a good security implementation for Linux was subject
to heavy discussions; my feeling is that it is not. In any case, the
implementations presented so far had limitations. For example, they
break existing applications. I assume that there will be no such patch
made to Linux until these limitations are removed.
