I've found such a topic when browsing the Wiki:

Well, sound like a very smart idea. IMHO it's a thing that makes a distro more 'prestigious' -- it's quite difficult to convince someone to using a distro for something more than just a testing workstation if it's security is, let's say... 'unknown'. Unfortunately there *are* some regressions in the upstream that make the latest stable releases vulnerable. In fact it's the main reason that prevents my faculty from switching from Gentoo and log-time compilations to simple and KISS-ing Arch. Any work toward ALSTF in the recent past?
Nope... there has been a lot of talk but nothing ever comes of it (apart from a wiki page it seems!). Allan
