    I've not found a much smaller set that isn't rootable, trivially DoSable
    with published tools or leaves users with non-working hardware that got
    pulled by Linus having a random pissy fit about pwc etc.

    -ac is essentially base security fixes + working IDE locking + pwc +
    fixes for the bugs everyone hit that needed fixing urgently. I consider
    working locking on my storage essential because I like my data to still
    be there.

    -as is similar although it makes different choices about what matters.

    Given 3 or 4 people it ought to be possible to make a much much tighter
    patch set for this purpose.
