I said no such thing. I did have reservations about various aspects of the ASLR work and also passed on concerns of others. I certainly did not say that I (or the Foundation) would block the work unless certain conditions were met. The Foundation doesn't have authority to block a change, anyway. I did say that we'd need the ability to disable ASLR on a per-process basis, with my specific interest being use by the debugger.
