My colleagues and I have recently been trying to port exploit and dos
modules from Metasploit. In the process we've concluded that OV misses a
lot of remote checks for these well known vulnerabilities. But on the
other hand, we've noticed that some of the important brand new
vulnerabilities were quickly NASLed (such as ms09-050), which is very
cool.  
IMHO the only issue here is the rate at which the remote checks are
being developed.

Totally agree!

Same thing here. :)
