And what's the point in caring about the security of users systems, when some of them don't care themselves in the first place? Remember, Gentoo is all about choices. If users choose to skip security updates, it's up to them and there's nothing you can do to change it. When their boxes get rooted due to unpatched vulnerabilities, maybe they'll change their mind. Ok, I admit that a few dumbasses will claim that Gentoo sucks and switch to another distro instead, but hey, that's just the way it is. - -- Pierre-Yves Rofes Gentoo Linux Security Team -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFHhSS/uhJ+ozIKI5gRAgJdAJjymZUrjZfg06W2TMohYZx3FSwsAJ9i4JD/ YZRXDJv/bZWzMXePfuP/Kg== =SFc9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
