The "standard" is vendor-sec, where the exploits are known
long before they are publically announced, and coordinated
releases, with consistent patches across all vendors, are
delivered.

The "standard" is _NOT_ the time delta between upstream and CentOS
releasing. And with better info sooner, I suspect that security
releasing would improve. All depends on volunteer efforts,
security drills ain't fun.

CentOS may have lost 1 of its vendor-sec representatioves, but
its a role that can be re-filled.
