* Anthony Towns: Viewed this way, wordpress definitely appears to have one of the /highest/ rates of security holes for webapps of its class. 14 bugs per year versus 12 for moodle and phpbb2 doesn't seem that big a difference to me. I'm not sure that bug counts like this are really useful

* Kurt Roeckx: - A simular case is that you have 2 segments, 1.0.0.0/24 and 1.0.1.0/24, and you add a 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.1.2. Now you want clients to connect to the one from it's own segment, and fall back to the other if it fails. In this case rule 9 might be useful. But I would
