I think anyone who follows advisories for some time knows that they do not go out immediately after a problem is discovered and usually it even takes some time after the problem is fixed. I realize that Security Team is doing what it can, but I think that everyone who subscribes to the list should be notified that they should not rely on the list as the main source of security information. Another possibility (which of course was discussed many times here) is to release informal warnings on the list as soon as a bug is patched and then take as long as needed to release formal advisory... I guess it's not a an acceptable solution for some reason. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
