I would welcome Fedora be first in things like this topic instead as
often in the past replace already working things with unfinished
alpha quality and need 3 follow-up releases to get back from where
it came and praise "new things" which are in fact regression-fixes
and features which where there before the replacements
Agreed. Too much time has been wasted on pointless discussion over this.
Let's enable this, rebuild packages, and if there are regressions
- either change to non-pie for specific packages
- or revert the change.
Microbenchmarks get us only so far, we need to know the impact the
change makes for the whole system. We won't know that until enough
packages have been rebuilt.
