2.0.2.x would sure help me as well.
The grsec patch was updated 3 times in place. This causes md5sum
conflicts for us as our portage systems mirrors patches and the mirrors
can end up with different patches.

One solution for me is to fetch the patch myself and put it on gentoo
mirrors and nolonger have our system fetch from grsec directly. But then
you Brad loses all stats in his logs coming from gentoo users.
