That's not really for me to say. But I can tell you that although the |
| 8 |
Gentoo developers take matters of security seriously, there is no |
| 9 |
full-time security tracker. Sometimes things don't get patched in |
| 10 |
portage until someone (else) creates a bug report. And even if that |
| 11 |
were not the case, there are 0-day exploits that have yet to be patched. |

So it really depends on how informed/paranoid you are about what you |
| 14 |
have accepting requests from the Internet. |
