Comment (by yawning):

 Anything that's Go based won't ever have either, because the upstream Go
 maintainers place way too much faith in their compiler and runtime to
 allow for such things.  I think this is shortsighted and stupid (Golang
 binaries are also statically linked so ASLR seems somewhat less useful).

 FTE/flashproxy are the only reasons why we still even bundle
 python/obfsproxy, we can probably remove obfsproxy.exe from the build
 process at this point as long fteproxy.exe still gets built correctly (or
 deprecate FTE).
