Problem:
You feel that the volunteer developers are not working fast
enough/well enough. You want this bug fixed as quickly as possible
so that it does not affect you. The volunteer developers are
currently working as fast as they can.
Solution:
Volunteer your time to fix the problem, or wait for the existing
volunteers to fix the problem.
If that isn't acceptable to you, you should seriously consider using a
commercial distribution where people *are* paid to fix security bugs.
