I think the key sentence here is this one: > == Benefit to Fedora == > We provide better security both for our packages and for > applications/programs which users are building. IMHO this should have nothing to do with our packages since we already have guidelines regarding hardening and in most cases it should be the case without package maintainer intervention (exotic build systems or misuse or misconfiguration do exist). To me this change should only be meant for end-users of GCC, not the Fedora build infrastructure itself.
