No, that is not the case at all. It's not useless and it's not
dangerous. We're just having some difficulty with it.
security-discuss works fine, but security-announce is causing us some
problems that we hope to resolve ASAP. Unfortunately, Denis (our main
mailing-list man) is on holidays for a week which kinda limits what I
can do, but I will attempt to fix this ASAP.
In the meantime, MandrakeUpdate will tell if you if there are new
packages to update, and if you visit the website at
www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security you will also see the advisories
posted. You will also see them on the forum website as well.
