alpha-sources-2.4.21-r4 should contain all security patches!

If you don't use ipv6, ipsec etc. you should be fine with
vanilla-sources.

A lot! Some month ago I made a new ebuild for 2.4.23 (search archive),
but it was never picked up and integrated to portage:-(

I'm willing to do the same for 2.4.25 but I'm still waiting for some
updated patches (e.g acl, superfreeswan, USAGI etc).
