Pierre, Actually patches were indeed missed, in fact we almost missed a security fix. As far as the wiki goes, most people don't even know it exists, let alone where to find it. Also, looking at the wiki there are a whole series of patches that did not go in into 5.3.1, that there is little indication as to why they didn't.
