No the point, as I see it, is that a security _audit_ of the code is now
being carried out. Not a fix to one bug. That's why it would be great if
the report were submitted. Or do you think it wise to bring the service
back up with known flaws?

I didn't write the lines about the whole service needing reworking either.
I'm just trying to explain why I think the process is being carried out
properly.
