Yes, I am aware of that.

If you look deeper you will see that libnasl is also in extras for fc{4,5}
and devel. The problem is that nessus-core and nessus-plugins are still
waiting for review and that is also the reason why I did not upgrade to 2.2.7
yet so reviewers can test and don't get the version they are looking at torn
away... once all of them are included (which I hope does not take to long) I
will upgrade asap.

Well maybe it isn't... I am always open to suggestions. If you want to help get
nessus-core and nessus-plugins-GPL into extras take a look at #182941 and
#185799 and comment there.
