PHBs don't care, and the people who *do* care already have many ways to obtain this information (RHN, the redhat-watch mailing list, the "errata" section on www.redhat.com, et. al.). This would simply be a waste of time for Red Hat. If PHBs gave a damn about distinguishing backported security fixes, Sun would've declared bankruptcy long ago. If PHBs gave a damn about security at all, Microsoft would've declared bankruptcy long ago. -- James Ralston, Information Technology Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA -- Phoebe-list mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
