+1 Like other private ASF lists, we must remember to use this list only
when privacy is required and not for general discussion of security.

With the upcoming freeze of Map/Reduce 0.21, for the first time, we have
code that is critical from a system security perspective. As outlined on
http://www.apache.org/security/committers.html this will be a private
list with only committers that are working on the security aspects of
Hadoop. The use of the list will be strictly limited to collecting
security issues from users so that they can fixed and released before
they are announced on public forums, such as jira. Clearly, I'm +1.
On a related note, my plan is to work on getting full Kerberos
integration for 0.22. We've come a long way without any authentication
in Hadoop, but it is getting important to start closing the holes.
