Following whos procedures?

Do me a favour and leave security bugs to the people 
actually doing security work in this distribution. Thanks.

Oh wait, you are comparing a low impact bug in a contrib 
script with those bugs? You must be kidding or at least you seem to have no
clue about the impact of security bugs.

"  I know Colin's words were probably not in the best tone, but his request
is fair: nobody likes reading "There was no vendor-supplied solution at the
time of entry." in a security tracker when he had no opportunity to solve the
problem."

What else should this tell me? If you are really just pissed of because you had
no opportunity to fix this before it was on security sites: ok, I don't care,
hate me for this, thanks for the discussion.

Anyway, I am not going to answer any mail regarding this issue from now on
since I see it as a plain waste of time. Stop whining and do something useful 
with
yours as well.

Cheers
Nico
