I'm working to get it in FC5.  I doubt it'll make it into FC4, but I'll
try.

The update package emails I looked at cc'd fedora-list.  Only the
testing ones just go to testing.

Yep, I've been quite busy and haven't nailed down the exact changes to
make.  I know what NEEDS to be changed, just not everything to change it

Legacy has always been about security.  I've used the term 'severe

maintainership of a release.  And if it is severe enough it is usually
considered a local DoS and thus security of sorts.
