Removing the updated vulnerability listings

Perhaps a combining a couple of these suggestions: remove the page, and create a
subscribers-only web page that allows for searching of the database on the various data
elements.  This would make it easier to, for example, find recent "packageX" vulnerabilities
and when they were patched in which distribution.  Or for the research of security advisories
for "distributionY" over the past X days.  The links (as shown on the Security page) would
allow for drilling down.

  This would have the following benefits:

1) Shorten the Security page
2) Keep the information available
3) Provide added value to subscribers, possibly helping drive subscriptions.
