Right. Which is another reason *not* to tie any security analysis to a commit message, since the known security impact of a commit can change.

Well, sort of. It's a reason never to say 'this has no security impact',
but attacks only get worse, never better: it's safe to say 'this is a
security hole', because it's not going to *stop* being a security hole.
