 Unfortunately due to some communication and misinformation regarding
the new sorting on the webpages (and a delay on my part to be able to
add Matts advisory yet, which ANYONE ELSE with webwml write access would
have been able to do!!) an unfortunate thing now happened:

 Joeys recent advisory for node was named 374 too and added to the
archive with that number.

 So, what to do? One of these advisories have to be renamed to 375 to be
able to put both in the webspace, or we can of course put both data in
the same 374 file too (which is a real mess and I don't think that you
want that).

 I'm really sorry that this happened, the change to the sorting for the
advisories to make revisions to advisories be displayed sorted with
their revision date, not their issue date, should have been discussed
with the security team, too -- unfortunately it was only discussed on
debian-www.

 Please advise me what to do, I will happily do whatever the team sees
appropriate and looks sensible.

 So long, and sorry for the inconvenience.
