A good chunk of these errata have come from the fact that people are
understanding more about exploits and more people are scanning
through the source code of all the various packages looking for 
problems before they become exploits.  The cumulative effect is 
a system that will be more secure in the future.  One of the advantages
of having many eyes auditing the source.
