Ignacio, the young'uns always believe they're better at security
maintenance on an individual basis than any distro security team is.
They'll hasten to volunteer to do redundant work, and hasten even _more_
to volunteer _your_ time to do redundant work.
If we're lucky, they get assigned to maintain a bunch of production
machines, and thus figure out really quickly why routinely chasing after
upstream head code is a really bad idea.
