But Red Hat maintained packages will probably be updated, while the
legacy packages may not. The question is whether legacy should do
update the FL maintained package or say: "This has nothing to do with
security so we won't fix it". I believe some people on this least
agree this could be a slight security issue (at a stretch), i.e. when
whois is used for automated lookups.
