Removing the updated vulnerability listings

I also support removing the updated vulnerability listings, 
however I would like to see some added functionality for 
the security page. 

With the current updated vulnerability listing one can discover 
that ones favourite distribution finally got around to fix that 
old bug, by screening the listing.
If/when it is removed, that will be harder.

If there could be a per package grouping in the security page,
I could at least easily check the status of an arbitrary package
quickly. I imagined a page per package, listing vulnerabilities
registered on that package name, along with the security status
for distributions.
