Comment (by tom):

 Replying to [comment:12 tom]:
 > My conclusion on this is that it is a nice to have for Windows, but far
 from critical. I identified a different option that is similar and would
 be more valuable, in #22477. It is useful only on Windows 7, Windows 8+
 includes it automatically.

 I'll recommend this as WONTFIX based on the fact that it only will affect
 Windows 7 users, and the addition of entropy to ASLR is useful, but the
 addition only makes a heap spray less likely to land - it doesn't change
 the exploit developer's game like adding ASLR would do.
