| Eh? Stabilizing for multiple security issues [1] is "incidental"?!

Stabling for multiple local denial of service security issues can be
done incidentally when stabling for a data loss fix (which I'm
not claiming is the case for one particular package, but merely giving
as an example demonstrating what "incidental" means).

Priorities. The arch teams could be too busy dealing with other bugs
that matter more or too busy dealing with noise bugs.
