You could post to a security newsgroup. This is a kernel newsgroup. As you
know, security pervades the OS on many levels, not only the kernel.

My *guess* would be that it's easily small enough that you could argue that
security measures are more important than resource usage. You can easily
upgrade memory, which negates the whole thing.
