> Grsec makes the kernel more secure by breaking it.

You could, but this has nothing to do with how grsecurity works.

On what basis do you claim that grsecurity is "snake oil"?

I will await your comprehensive technical rebuttal of its feature set and implementation, which you have no doubt carefully analyzed.
