Subject:   stack_guard hardening bsdinstall option in STABLE and 11.1

Hello list,

the stack_guard hardening option in bsdinstall is now setting 512 pages 
of it in CURRENT, as of r320674. It's said to MFC after 1 day (on Jul 
5th), but STABLE hasn't got it yet. Is this simply an omission 
(understandable as the RELEASE is being prepared so things are a bit 
hectic I guess), or is there another reason?

Can we assume that in 11.1 the sysctl is integer and can we safely set 
 >1 number of pages, say 512 like the installer in CURRENT suggests?

Thanks!
