Mike, I would generally agree with that above statement, however most (99 percent?) of the FL fixes involved code that was written and tested elsewhere. All FL does is re-apply the same fix to the FL codebase. I for one am willing to accept a tested fix that is applied to a parallel codebase over running a known vulnerability. It's not an exact science but it also isn't running blind.
