Right - this is a point of discussion, but my current feeling is I think it is reasonable to include the development release in a USN if we publish a high priority fix in the monthly release. I don't think it is reasonable for us to publish an aggregate USN or separate USNs for the security updates that are gotten by just upgrading month to month. -- Jamie Strandboge http://www.ubuntu.com/
