But Red Hat maintained packages will probably be updated, while the  
legacy packages may not. The question is whether legacy should do  
update the FL maintained package or say: "This has nothing to do with  
security so we won't fix it". I believe some people on this least  
agree this could be a slight security issue (at a stretch), i.e. when  
whois is used for automated lookups.
