+For what it is worth... LWN does not monitor our security advisories. I 
+once emailed them asking how we could be included in their weekly 
+overview, but received no reply. I guess for now they consider us not 
+significant enough to warrant a place in their updates advisories.

+much of a hassle for them. Who knows.
