A patch like PaX would (IMHO) improve security a lot,... and it would be worth thinking for a distribution, whether to take this burden and to manually maintain it...
Apart from that,.. if something like PaX is used in a mainline distro, it could get a development boost and perhaps be even included in the vanilla tree at some time. As PaX needs PIC as far as I remember, this decision would have to be made at a global level for the distribution anyway, as everything would have to be compiled with PIC.
