It is absolutely right, but I don't think current situation is not
good, if we want to check 'are there any (security) patches are available
for release which I'm now using?"

<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/security/>; describes only "what SAs are
available today."  It doesn't mension that which SAs are for
4.3-RELEASE (or any releases or stables).  Each user checks each SA,
and decide that which SAs can be applied to their systems.

Does anybody make a script that parse each SAs 'Affects:' line, and
make a HTML (or SGML) table just like (or something like):

	- for 4.3-RELEASE
		(nothing)

	- for 4.2-STABLE/4.3-RC
		SA-01:39
		SA-01:32
		...

It would be also nice that 'core' SAs and 'pors' SAs are separetely
listed, since 'core' SAs are affected to all users, but 'ports' SAs
are affected to some users which uses affected ports.
