How did you act differently during those two weeks?

Well, one thing that was different from this Red Hat thing was that I knew, for sure, that the Debian folks would tell me what went wrong as soon as they could :-)

After the two weeks, I changed my kernel, as soon as I found out it was necessary to do that.

From here:

"Something that came up at the board meeting today is that some folks are worried that their systems are not completely patched or current. That fedora infrastructure may have patches applied that we cannot tell people about.

Just to dispell this concern. Every package we (fedora infrastructure) have installed or updated on a system since the incident occurred is public and available."

Everything we have, you have.
