+Depends, overworking the sec team doesn't look like a good aspect...
+(that's why I liked contrib in mdv, I could push an update any time,
+without having to go though the bug report -&gt; QA -&gt; Sec team loop).
+
+&gt;<i> (or version updates in some cases, like firefox/opera/flash or updating

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+I agree, (except for the games part, nowadays if it's less than 4GB
+it's not really a &quot;game&quot;).
+
+
+Maybe the sec team should only work on sec fixes, and there should be
+a sub-group of the sec team that handle the not
+CVE|crash|segfaulting|buffer-overflow updates.
