in the last month or so I came to realise that "the Debian security team 
doesnt support LTS as a team, only by individual members" is not really true / 
accurate. Or to phrase it differently and more positivly: I thankfully still 
see many edits to data/CVE/list which refer to squeeze too! Thats awesome!

So I think LTS has put a little bit more work on the security teams shoulders. 
And we should acknowledge / not forget that. (Which I think we do best by 
working with them, roughly like we have done so far :)


cheers,
	Holger
