Wednesday's security updates

Conspicuously absent is any fedora update. The latest I've seen was August 11. I know they took a week off for introspection, but I'm wondering if there's something still plugging up their processes.

I noticed the current drupal in fedora 9 is strongly urging admins to pull down the latest update for security fixes. Most packages don't actively look for and notify users of upstream updates, but I'd be surprised if there aren't other packages in fedora updates with important fixes available upstream that are yet to be applied. I can't complain at these prices, but one wonders...
