1 Hi,

3 it was naive of me to attempt to create such a comparison table. Takes
4 much more time than I have available for this.

6 It was to be expected that there are disagreements and I cannot resolve
7 them without checking the code myself and perhaps without coming up with
8 proof of concept exploitation code to settle it.

12 If someone else wants to maintain such a wiki comparison page, I could
13 still help with hosting, mediawiki markup and such stuff.

15 Sorry for the noise!

19 We had somewhat a bad timing. I am sure Vlad in the "Portage and Updater
20 Security" thread is much more knowledgeable, realistic and dedicated. (I
