Probably mention serious security fixes better so that people like I don't
have to wait for PaXTeam to point out issues like this one. :)

I mean; wouldn't it be nice to be able to trust what the kernel releases
changelogs say? Because right now you can't and not everybody is going to
understand the extent of a problem just because the logs reference a null
pointer.
