Is it make sense to use any of hardened profiles, if hardened-sources is masked?

Hardened profile is not only a set of patches for kernel.

I opened a similar support request on hardened profiles, if someone knows what is the current state of hardened and how it will develop in future (for the question if a migration to a hardened profile makes sense - because PIE already is in the normal profile, maybe everything will be moved) I would be very grateful

Isn't PaX part of the GRSecurity patch set? In that case, is it gone along with GRSecurity?

Doesn't profile 17.0 at at least PIE? I'm not sure about SSP, but I thought there'd been some other updates upstream that take care of some of that.

Even on my regular desktops I've been picking up Kees Cook's hardening tips for the mainline kernel.

Yes, unfortunately.

hardened has still few more GCC compiler flags on per default, as I learned in the last days at the hard way, eg.: -fstack-check=yes
