Regarding a response, I think it would be a good idea if it covers how
vulnerabilities are reported, and then more towards Pauls earlier point
of where the vulnerabilities are found and does it include all of the
software officially or unofficially in the distribution/vendor package.

Another point to consider would be how quickly the vulnerability is
addressed and patched, Linux isn't just Tuesdays.

That article is nested a bit, have some source[1] :)
