My english not enought fluent for more explicate proposal, from my
point most of this options do hardened in only limited cases, for
other cases same options do system more un-hardened by force working
as root. Some have unevident effects (/tmp cleaning, for example).

For many users this options will be source of weird issuses (gdb don't
work? fucking ugly freebsd! migrate to linux).

This is evil trend of enforcing weird solutions under the auspices of
'my safety': airport security check, backgound check on every point,
lawfull intercept, block access to hardware management in safety
enviroment by 'leak ecnription'. I am enoght smart for self-sufficient
security risk assessment!

Industry already have at some "hardened" BSD: OpenBSD and HardenedBSD.
Waht about market share?
