People also request security, but judging from the perpetual stream of
security notices, it doesn't seem as if that request is ever met.

I don't think it's fair to blame the hackers for not accomplishing
something that is a process, and not a goal. They have been working hard
on performance improvement, and that's the best you can possibly ask
without an already agreed-upon, measurable and realistic performance goal
for 1.0.4.

I've just got to bite a cat!  I feel like if I don't bite a cat before
sundown, I'll go crazy!  But then I just take a deep breath and forget
about it.  That's what is known as real maturity.	-- Snoopy
