the process requires many independent checks before an update is
released.  this robust process is designed to ensure that
vulnerabilities are resolved in a solid fashion.  in time the FL
community will prove itself, and people will have the same "faith" in it
that they have in other community projects.

i disagree.  i think FL needs to grow faster.  it needs to have more
involvement.  more people submitting patched packages.  more people
QA'ing those packages.  and more people verifying those packages.

please contribute.  if anyone gets hung up on something that is too
complex please ask for help on the mailing list or on irc.
