ehem. What about critics? Am I not allowed to critices their work? As I have
pointed out, their is no alternative for it. "But the point is: what's the
alternative? If $big_fat_distributer is crippled
by its own release policy or profit making intention - they will _NEVER_ be
secure." I said.
So the debian security team is doing a good job at the whole.

Well, I pointed out that there is not real alternative. Imho the current
release policy doesn't support the creation of a secure distribution.
