I'd be very surprised if it is mentioned on Slashdot (LWN + Linuxtoday
carry routine security advisories, so they'll probably have it at some
point). The security problem is *not* that serious.

I'd say release the RPMs when they are ready, a couple days won't make
a big difference either way. Given that the only remotely serious hole
(the datetime bug) has been public knowledge for a matter of weeks,
there's not a lot of point to panicking at this point.

Cheers,
