The 32 bit NX support and parts of the randomisation are incorporated already. The segment limit hack will never be incorporated (but that's ok; NX is the real solution and more and more systems out there support NX). The userspace parts of Exec-Shield are in the respective gcc/glibc/binutils upstream codebases already.

no more because you didn't look deep enough; they exist. The most current patch is always in the rawhide kernel rpm; once in a while that gets put into a "released" patch, but the rawhide one is updated daily or just about.
