It will delay the bugtraq[1]-reading script kiddies[2] if and only if
the scripts given there aren't designed to work around the noexec
stack hack. If the patch jumps into the official kernel, the
white-hat guys who, for some reason I can't envision, think that "full
disclosure" means "give a root exploit" and are good programmers
*will* work around it.
Hence, you're much more "protected" if the patch stays as non-official
as it is.
OG.
[1] Replace bugtraq by rootshell or whatever
[2] The people able to write exploits themselves are out of the
picture from the start
