Re: Re: Is oldstable security support duration something to be proud of?




Please take this discussion off list. It has nothing to do with security. Take it to some list that has has to do with debian policy, announcements, the web-page or anyplace else where it might be relevent.

Great job Security team. Thanks for all your work.

He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a
monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into
you.

They can surely be proud of having accomplished a great feat, according to (at
*least*) everyone that bothered to give you any kind of answer. It's not
about just one number, it's about the work it takes to make it. And it surely
isn't small, as the calculation of packages*months indicated, and basically
every other point I've seen given so far.

I think now is a good time to say "I'm sorry", but no one can force you to it.
I'm sorry, but I don't see what I could be sorry about. I did not write that the work required to support oldstable was small.

People can only killfile you instead.

Oh, and before I forget:

You said from your carefully picked numbers, that Debian "score" is "worse", even though that means nothing really, according to the replies that message
got.
So?

worse
     adj 1: (comparative of `bad') inferior to another in quality or
            condition or desirability; "this road is worse than
            the first one we took"; "the road is in worse shape
            than it was"; "she was accused of worse things than
            cheating and lying" [ant: better]
