In short, the joining of the partitions has already caused broken security workarounds to go into the kernel (that still need to be fixed), and is in the process of requiring system utils and applications to invent workarounds for the security implications -- that themselves cause their own set of security issues that will need more patches, and likely cause more rounds.

Have you at least googled the issue?
