I am aware that work is ongoing to handle security for sarge. And I
really appreciate that. Security is important.
I still do not understand the meaning of mentioning that work in the
context of "Installing sarge-based skolelinux is possible today!":
Possible for Skolelinux users? Is it a sign of sarge-based Skolelinux
being mature enough for us in schools today?
Possible for Skolelinux developers? Why bother with security fixes
before using in production?
Sarge and sarge-based Skolelinux is not yet official and not yet
officially security-fixed!
In short: Sarge-based Skolelinux is not yet safe to use!
(I responded to a question about use at a school!)
