    With respect to security issues, there have been some of them in the past
    months, and at least some of them were not fixed back them with the
    argument of "development release, will be fixed".

    It seems that Alan Cox was the one to keep track of these security
    problems, but now that he is on his sabbatical year maybe some of the
    fixes are still pending, because nobody remembers there were any ;-)

    Are these problems already fixed, and I missed them, or there are still
    some to be addressed ?.
