Which won't necessarily reach them either, as that assumes the users
will all update their packages and there won't be new installations
without automatic updates before usage.  (Bug 94625 received duplicate
filings for _years_ after RedHat pushed out updates to fix the
problem.  In fact, it received another one just last month.)
