Perhaps simply a suggestion of where people should find more
information.  The purpose of CAN numbers is to clearly, unambiguously,
identify issues... so people won't have to explain each issue -- they
could indirectly involve numerous packages...

The initial email was from a 'compulsive reader of security lists' so it
was fair to assume he knew this.

For CAN-2004-0113 for instance...
