In the interim I'd like to propose we push a hadoop-0.20-security release off the Yahoo! patchset (http://github.com/yahoo/hadoop- common). This will ensure the community benefits from all the work done at Yahoo! for over 12 months *now*, and ensures that we do not have to wait until hadoop-0.22 which has all of these patches.
Since most people seemed to think of it as a reasonable idea, I'm going to create the hadoop-0.20-security branch and start the necessary work.
thanks, Arun
