By the way, I have been running the kernel with the randomized PID
patch for over a week, and I think it is completely safe.  Apart from
PIDs it also randomizes ephemeral client ports, which is probably even
more important for security on a user workstation.

Last I heard, OpenBSD still haven't cloned apt-get :-)
