Folks.

The more I think of it, I think we should have a link to the latest
security advisories on the mainpage, as we have for the newsflash and
other items.

I think finding the latest security advisories on the first sight is much
more important than infos about new committers or similar.

I consider these things a high-priority thing, and everyone should be
aware of possible holes as early as possible, e.g. when visiting the
mainpage.  We shouldn't care about a bad impression this might be for
newcomers, but as a better and important service for system maintainers
that need to stay up-to-date.

Alex
