Are you talking about his comment about -no_shared_cr3, which causes a noticable performance degradation, and how he will be releasing a kext soon - neither of which is mentioned in the github readme, but buried in HN comments? A small portion of users might be considered vigilant, but they're not psychic.

The largest target for local privesc are the people who get hit by different kinds of malware, usually as a payload in sleazy spyware installers. The malware authors now have a few profitable weeks before Apple patches it (here's hoping they're quick!) and only the elite few who know how to deploy an unsigned kext (that still isn't available) will be able to protect themselves.

Still not seeing the upside to this.
