Unfortunately security issues are often fixed by regular version bumps. |

That is, security updates and feature updates are not seperated at all |
| 8 |
(see kernel). The choice is "backporting" security fixes, which is a lot |
| 9 |
of work (watching upstream SCM, ml, etc) or taking the upgrade path with |
| 10 |
new features, new bugs and a host of upgrades due to dependencies. |

Which options sounds worse? I don't know but recompiling core libs under |
| 13 |
my feets to upgrade production systems a few hundred miles away is not |
| 14 |
much fun. |
