Having a system that actually works is usually reckoned to be more |
| 10 |
important than patching minor security holes on architectures that |
| 11 |
aren't security-supported anyway. On systems that are almost never used |
| 12 |
in production or in externally visible roles, security bugs are much |
| 13 |
akin to simple enhancements to a package that already works, and fixing |
| 14 |
packages that don't work takes precedence. |
