- 2.5.13

This includes a security update.  Will the updated RPM be copied to
updates as well for those that have it installed?  I understand it's a
Contrib-RPM, but why not put it in updates as well?  Only those who
installed the Contrib-RPM will be affected by it being in updates.

No way. If we start doing it for this one just as a "why not" then there is a future expectation to do it all the time. Policy is no updates for contribs, and that means *nothing*.

Besides, how difficult is it to grab the mhonarc srpm and rebuild it on whatever platform you want? Probably not too hard...
