Is this information accurate? Well, the article don't mention the selinux protection test(checksec.sh in fact check only grsecurity iirc), Exec Shield and non use also the pax test as a useful bench. In any case I seem to note two things: 1 - there are many programs without FORTIFY_SOURCE or stack protector but this is should be the default so exist RPM that not use RPM_OPT_FLAGS 2 - are actually a few years I noticed that RELRO in Fedora is less important than in the past. Dunno why Just my %1 cent.
