Without knowing all the nitty gritty details, I believe this is because a
subset of the initial 2.4 patch is included in upstream 2.6.

I would suggesting asking one of the Fedora kernel guys, or Ingo if you
want to know for sure.  This list is primarily for dealing with security
vulnerabilities in Fedora.  I doubt anyone on this list knows enough about
the working of Exec Shield to feel comfortable answering your question.
