Hi Dmitry,

It wouldn't be a minimal distro. We would simply republish oi_148 to /stable, 
then only update a small set of packages with security updates.

The work involved would be backporting security fixes, recompiling the software 
and publishing the fixed package to the /stable branch.

It would in no way double the effort involved.

Regards,

Alasdair
