Hi shall we enable it too? Thanks for your opinion.
I am not very informed on kernel stuff so I could be wrong here...
This seems a good idea for a what seems a minor(?) increase in security, but at the expense of making debugging kernel issues more difficult. I guess the people who want to attach gdb and debug the kernel are probably building their own from upstream git anyway, so I lean slightly on the side of enabling it.

Generally I'm against adding more and more debugging stuff. This makes our kernel larger and slower. When users have a certain kernel issue they will need to rebuild and gitbisect custom kernels anyway where they can enable the required debug stuff. -Andy
