I wonder who would seriously make a decision based soley on that data, aggregated in one place. It would seem very daft to make a distro decision for any sized site based soley on criteria that can be aggregated (and presumably by unvetted, vendor-supplied data at that).

I wouldn*t pick a distro _soley_ based on this data, but I would probably discard a lot of distros based on it. That can be very useful too.
And I don't see any problem that is data would be vendor supplied. Lying would't work in a FOSS ecosystem.

The security release date can be checked by checking the date that the updated package was released.
Also I don't think anyone said anything about solely using that data to make a distro choice.
