I’m looking at the xenial page…

and knowing that a 0.71 for putty is out, and versions below have a possible 
RCE now, I wanted to poke to get the -updates suites up to date.  Disco, cosmic 
and bionic are still < 0.71, too.  I certainly don’t need this rolled into a 
stable release, but updating the -updates for security purposes seems to be 
worthwhile.

-updates corresponds to the SRU page I linked. Pushing something to
-updates is considered an update to that stable release, will be
recommended to users to install as updates to the stable release, and so
must comply with SRU policy.

Security updates are separate and go through the -security pocket.
Usually only cherry-picks of security fixes are acceptable for that.
