--------------------------------------

Konstantin,

Exim is a soft target for root exploit.  I am only stating the obvious to help 
Apache projects.

What you do with this information is entirely up to you.  The patch to remove 
redhat-lsb-core is located here:  

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1194  

Inverse patch it, then your system has one less threat.

What the community does to remove rpm packages from the projects, that is 
community's choice.  I respect that, but it is also irritating to see that 
projects are all tight up to a monolithic packaging project.  BigTop copied 
packaging technique from HADOOP-6255 to enable support for packaging both deb 
and rpm packages for most of the projects surrounding Hadoop.  While I 
appreciate the hard work that bigtop committers invested in Bigtop.  It is just 
awkward to use for people that don't want to have the monolithic build system.  
It's like a zombie that put on a blue dress to imitate Elsa from Disney Frozen. 
 The bigtop show just won't work for some parents.
