This is so that even those running older versions still receive the security fixes. If you follow -STABLE, you are fine long before the advisory comes out... you can always find out from the mails on cvs-all. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
