This is true, except sometimes upstream patching can take a while and
it would be a good idea to warn users about the problem in the meantime
so that they can take temporary measures. If there's a single thing
that I miss about Arch security, it's Arch Sheriff : it basically did
that. Maybe people who want to do something about security could begin
with resurrecting it.
