Thanks Luke, this is helpful. If it's desirable to get all those things done
for security updates before they enter repos, I understand that it will slow
them down. I still don't like it though. Is there an estimate how much that
is/will be on the average?
BTW, should I have been aware of the process change, was it announced
somewhere?

Ok. Could something like this be added to Security/TrackingBugs in Wiki?
