What exactly is the purpose of PAX LOG?  Have you considered using
ktrace instead?

Why?  Performance, or do they actually break?

"don't support" as in you have tested them and confirmed that they break
in some way?  Could you post your test methodology so people can
replicate the failures and look into fixing them?

What is the difference between LATT-ASLR and OP-ASLR, and why not just
"include GENERIC"?  You know about "nooptions", right?
