if that's the point it would be a lot simpler to simply say "security updates" will be announced x days after they enter the queue" -> no waiting on architectures that are slow -> no dropping any arches that manage to keep up (regardless of wether they are used by a large percentage of users or not) -- Cheers, cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis) 1.
