Re: Fedora Core 4 Legacy security updates?

[Tim Thome <tthome cox net>]

David,

Sounds like a good thing entering it into Bugzilla, however, if there is 
not a priority within Red Hat to fix it, the bug will sit there and rot... 
Might be a good time to split the bugzilla between active devlopment and 
legacy, and move the bugs over as needed, where they can be triaged, and 
dealt with in accordance with the Fedora Legacy charter.

Thoughts?
