I think you're confusing the past with the present.  There is at least
1 hidden security bug thats been sitting in the queue for a year
*right now*.  I'm not talking about the stuff that was fixed in the
last audit.  As for why they are hidden, well thats, the *$@%ing
collector that encourages it, and as ZC runs the collector that puts
the ball squarely in ZC's court.
