RHEL users may well be as confused as ours (whether of not ours are). It may be relevant as a data point, but not for decision making. Whether its just 1.0.1e, a full 1.0.1g, e+foo, or additional meta obviously matters, but it's not as important as distinguishing 'what we want' with how we're going to do it and why. I'll give it a crack: "Our users can quickly and clearly see and know, on the system, when a vendored library or piece of software in base is patched, or partially updated to account for bugs or security vulnerabilities in a supported version of FreeBSD" ./koobs
