There are no provisions in this GLEP to handle backporting of security |
| 7 |
fixes, nor do I plan to add any. A key provision of this GLEP is that it |

does not take a large team of people to function properly. For the most |
| 9 |
part, it slots into existing processes. |

Thus, as proposed in this GLEP, it will be up to the package maintainer on |
| 12 |
whether to backport or release a new version. |
