I believe Greg got fed up with comments about which bugs may or may not be security related and folded into an even/odd version of "should upgrade" "must upgrade" "strongly urged to upgrade".
Security vulnerabilities with CVE's attached are logged as such, but the general maintainer consesus appears to be that data corruption or crashers are at least as good reasons to upgrade as various security issues can be. And the only way to avoid the fecalflinging discussion is to blanket state "upgrade now".
