kernel.org (or rather, the people on lkml) doesn't know where it's head, hands and feet are relative to each other. They're a bunch of individuals with very, very widely different opinions on how things should be handled. Browse the kernel-traffic newsletter or the lkml archives, there's a debate over how releases and security should be handled about every other week. There's a debate right now about creating an official security contact for the kernel, I really hope that this will get somewhere, but don't hold your breath until it can actually be seen to work. <http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/12/138> <http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/12/191> <http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/2/64> -- vbi -- Beware of the FUD - know your enemies.
