I'm not trying to point fingers and/or throw mud. My question is, will it be possible to find a mid-route, which combines the shortest possible vulnerability period with a minimal risk of having DOA machines? You'd agree that having 1000s of DOA machines doesn'treally sit well with Fedora's mission statement... (Though, in Dave's defense, a machine that doesn't boot is a machinewhich cannot be compromised ;))What do you think is the "mid-route" for time critical security fixes?
the mid-route seems to be that there are no longer 2107_FC5 kernels in fc5 updates or updates-testing.
$ lftp download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386> ls *2107**
2096 is the last$ lftp download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/5/i386> ls *2107*
2069 is old and davej yesterdays 2108 is history http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/ today is 2111 -- shrek-m
