[arch-general] ALSTF (Arch Linux Security Task Force)?

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

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Security_Task_Force

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?

Best regards,
Marek
