Sorry if I'm too dumb, but I do still not get it.


Perhaps I'm confused becaused it's called _testing_-security - but it 
is never used for testing and therefore seems to not be required for 
security support in testing.

Where exactly are the publicised scalability issues?

Are the stable-security autobuilders not capable of handling two stable 
releases (AFAIR they were at potato/woody times, but my memory might be 
wrong)?


Yes, I might be too dumb for understanding this issue.

Please give me dumb person a simple explanation when the 
testing-security infrastructure will actually be used.


TIA
