I expect to release RSBAC 1.2.3 this week, still waiting for more feedback 
on pre6 and/or the latest code at rsync.rsbac.org. Also, the new RSBAC Web 
design by Kang should be finished in time (see http://new.rsbac.org for 
the current state of affairs).

 I planned to port to 2.6.7 just before the release, so we still have 
support for 2.6.6.  If you say that 2.6.7 must be supported ASAP, I can 
port now and drop 2.6.6 support.

Despite being hosted on the GRSecurity Server with recent hardware problems 
(GRSec is back on track BTW), PaX is an independent and strong project. As 
these failures annoyed me a lot, I have created my own mirror at 
pax.kernelsecurity.org (guess what www. shows ;).

AFAIK, there is no comparable alternative to PaX,  but it is not required 
for RSBAC.  You can also work without or use other solutions.

I will not wait for PaX. Only the optional prepatched kernels with PaX 
obviously have to wait,  while those without PaX will come as soon as I 
have ported to the new kernel.

Amon.
