I looked for your name on the donations list. I don't see it.
I only buy CDs and stuff occasionally, and generally
invest time in what I hope are productive ways.
I think you bought one CD.
Now you spout and whine. Is that a Robert Heinlein philosophy?
How much do I need to donate to keep from having to
waste my time in unproductive threads like this?
Is that a Robert Heinlein philosophy too?
I HAVE donated both hardware and cash over the last few years, as
well as buying CDs and shirts; does that mean I get to have an opinion?
1) It is reasonable to assume that if a security-announce@ list
exists, it will be utilized consistently. If it is not, the
documentation should be updated to reflect that.
2) There are numerous other ways to track changes to -STABLE. Using
one of them is also reasonable; if they were referenced somewhere in
the documentation that would certainly be helpful (but would generate
management overhead).
