Right. I fully agree that there will be important security commits that'll
get missed, whether because they were missed in the stable selection or
the stable-security selection.

I'd like to point out again that updating the entire stable tree is the
preferable way to patch against security (and non-security) issues. The
stable-security tree is a best-effort solution to provide a stop-gap in
between said stable tree updates.


Thanks,
Sasha
