As the person who unfailingly gets flamed no matter which way the decisions leans :), I think we are probably at a point where we should have an official, documented and community-agreed-to policy on how these kinds of things will be handled.
My intent was not flaming anyone... Sorry for that. I just tried to take the voice of the "average" Zope-Admin (installs Zope from a recent stable release, waits for the security-maintainers of distros to get security patches etc.).
At a minimum, having a clear and documented policy would provide the benefit of 'no surprises' - if you disagree with the policy, or some aspect of it, you would at least be able to plan around it.
Very good idea...:) If all Zope-Admins can read before an installation: "Security exploits will be exposed to the public as soon as they're resolved in the CVS" everyone will & should run Zope out of CVS. My point was: Give people a chance to react on exposed security flaws. The statement above will do that because people should be prepared...:) Cheers, Maik
