I said no such thing.
I did have reservations about various aspects of the ASLR work and
also passed on concerns of others. I certainly did not say that I (or
the Foundation) would block the work unless certain conditions were
met. The Foundation doesn't have authority to block a change, anyway.
I did say that we'd need the ability to disable ASLR on a per-process
basis, with my specific interest being use by the debugger.
