I'm another person who was expecting a backlash.  Or, perhaps, "the only other person who was
expecting a backlash".

If the information could be kept elsewhere, with a simple link, that would be great.
Sometimes, I've got enough time to look  at the vulnerabilities several times a week.  Other
times are different.

Mostly, I don't need the detailed information (fixed in x.y.z is usually easy enough), but
from time to time I need to search through the distro updates to find the backport they
applied to an earlier version.
