I would hope so, too - but given some of the things we've seen on the
client side in the last couple of weeks, I don't think it's
unreasonable to suspect there might be servers with as severe
problems. Whether we can find the vulnerabilities or not, though,
doesn't reduce the need to document the issues, I think.
