ok, say a distro has 200 packages that use python, for a total of 20,000 *.py files. now what, the limited resources of a distro should be used to "patch optimally" the first line of all those 20,000 *.py files, just because this would mean to use a common policy? _regardless_ of the fact that those files actually run? this is so crazy in practice that...
