Wasn't clear to me, and your repeated undertones don't help either.

I've already made it clear that nothing is being rushed, yet you keep
harping on that. It was in my reply, again, though you gracefully
ignored that, again.

Have we had security issues? For sure, and more than I would've liked.
By far most of that is for old kernels, not the current code base. We've
made good progress getting that migrated back, and it's always top of
the mind when developing new features. If you think I don't take this
seriously, then you are ignorant, and suggesting otherwise is slander.
And since it's apparently a big problem in your inbox, you will have
undoubtedly also seen that we've always been handling these well and
expediently.
