Theo's talk at ruBSD in December reminded me to compare the various
Unixes, Linux and Windows in terms of exploit mitigation features.
It was a big surprise to me that DragonflyBSD misses out.
See for yourself at

The impression is that Windows and OpenBSD and Linux+PaX implement
the most complete feature set.
There's an effort to get ASLR into FreeBSD 11, so what's the plan
for DragonflyBSD. For a forward-thinking and otherwise progressive
BSD it'd be a shame to miss out on exploit mitigation.
What's the plan?
