Thanks, Jean-Pierre. I guess attitude counts for something... =) I'm
glad yours is a good one.

Errr.. well, Florin is a developer for SNF/MNF and he works very hard
on that and does a fantastic job, but I'm the only Mandrake developer who does updates...
the "secteam" consists of myself and a few volunteers, of whom I am
extremely grateful for having, as they do an exceptional job of helping
me out.

There is, however, only one person doing security updates, so when
these crazy ideas that involve us supporting every distrib we've ever
put out come up, please keep in mind you're asking one man and a small
group of volunteers (who do testing only, no building or patching) to
do it.
