And why is this not on the front page?

How odd ... a site that caters to those who use open source software are continually bombarded with reports of how IIS is swiss cheese on the front page, yet when critical OPEN SOURCE security issue comes about, it comes out regarding one of the most, if not THE most used open source application in the world, it is a day late and not published on the front page.

It would appear that the posting security advisories on this site are not to HELP admins, but instead to bash those you don't like.
