Hi,

As brought up on the meeting last night, I think we should try to go for
PIE by default in Stretch on all release architectures!
* It is a substantial hardening feature
* Upstream has vastly reduced the performance penalty for x86
* The majority of all porters believe their release architecture is
ready for it.
* We have sufficient time to solve any issues or revert if it turns out
to be too problematic.

[...]

* Deadline for major concerns: Fri, 7th of October 2016.

[...]

Thanks,
~Niels

It appears that there were no major concerns. I will follow up #835148
and request PIE by default for the following architectures.

* amd64
* arm64
* armel
* armhf
* i386
* mips
* mips64el
* mipsel
* ppc64el
* s390x

Should you be a porter for an architecture not listed above and want PIE
by default on your architecture, please follow up on #835148 as well (or
a file a new wishlist bug if #835148 is closed when you do it)

NB: The omission of powerpc was intentional as there were no porters
supporting it during the roll-call.

Thanks,
~Niels
