My comment about Linux was not in regards to any particular distro, they all
have interesting policies of varying effectiveness when it comes to release
engineering, but specifically about the Linux kernel team (Torvalds Et al,)
which last I checked had a policy of specifically not handling security issues
any different from any generic bug. Distros may do their own kernel release
engineering and handling that themselves which is fine.
