That is not what I am saying. A "security issue" is just a bug like all others.
You have to determine whether breaking things and introducing other bugs is
worth it for fixing any bug. I do appreciate you made that decision for this
release branch. And since you maintain it, you can indeed make that call.

Clearly we need even more buildslaves :)
