We've had this flamewar before. From those past flamewars, 'dishonest' in
PaXspeak appears to mean 'does not research every single patch to determine if it fixes an exploitable hole, then pause the release while a CVE is assigned and rewrite the changelog to include the CVE number and exploit'. If a single hole lacks a CVE we get flames on LWN (why pick on LWN, which is just reporting them? Search me. Maybe he wants as many people as possible to dislike him. LWN used to have a pleasant collegial comment atmosphere before these PaXTeam and Brad Spengler came along. Now it often feels like alt.flame: I certainly want a killfile again.)
So we have PaXTeam on one side damning the stable team for not doing all

Allow me to thank Greg et al for continuing with stable maintenance
despite getting 'thanks' and accusations of incompetence, lying, and malice with virtually every release. I know I'd have given up long ago and told these horrible people to do the releases themselves if they cared so much about them. Greg is more mature than that thankfully. :)
