We used trusted stores for certificates and mobile applications, it's time for the desktop to do the same beyond drivers.
Not to say things won't creep through, but default allow needs to go for this to be truly solved, not a new feature or vendor product.
We do it for mobile, mostly, the desktop needs the same shift.
Grsecurity is important to some people, not all, and vice versa for the features and backwards compatibility crowd.
Personally I'd hope someone in Linus position would see both sides of the fence, but he doesn't and always has some mouthy outrageous opinion. So this is zero surprise.
Rather avoid certification if you just want to have 20 lines on your resume to look like a ninja and brag. I'm a hiring manager in infosec, and same deal if you brag about certs I start to tune out.
Once EAD is issued, they can work.
