My two cents is that this is particularly true for kernel sources. For |
| 42 |
other applications GLSAs will take over the responsibility for the |
| 43 |
mask to ensure an upgrade path, however as we don't currently have a |
| 44 |
structured mechanism for kernels I support the mask personally. |
