I wish people would read the list archives instead of posting the same kind of questione time and again.

Thank you for your thoughts Kai.
I have invested quite a bit of time reading the CentOS and CentOS-Devel archives, including this one from KB:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-February/105486.html
Seems to me that my post was both relevant and appropriate. All the vulnerabilities I cited were either "Critical" or "remotely exploitable". If my specific query was answered elsewhere, off topic, or out of line I apologize. See my earlier response to Russ's kind, detailed reply for more.
I've also read the "FAQ":
http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General
...as well as Eric and Rick's "Smart Questions" FAQ (all common sense):
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
This is not my first time around the block Kai. As much as I hate wasting my own time, I will go out of my way to avoid wasting that of others... especially those who are working hard on their own time on my behalf. I only ask questions when I can't find answers using local or on-line resources. I always try to make my questions concise but with sufficient detail for others to answer, selecting the appropriate forum based upon community guidelines.
I'm not easily offended so I welcome constructive criticism, even harsh critique. You'll find me to be considerate, respectful, and generous because I try to treat others the same way I expect to be treated.
Please don't be offended if I do not respond to additional replies. I see no benefit to the list or myself in extended arguments.
