If RedHat were to be assigned a grade of "C" for this, it would surely
be interesting to know which distros get a "D" or "F".

Lamar's use of "sniggles" seems more succinct each day as the Team reveals more.

Note that Troy's litmus test in the list is "wouldn't build" and that
could explain the difference between Troy's count and Karanbir's
count.

Are there honest security types on the list who would like to comment
on whether this lack of QA could have potential security
ramifications?
