But if a "security issue", by whatever definition of the term applies to
core, is found in contrib, it would result in the full security exercise,

Of course, the people I am trying to convince that contrib is not insecure
have yet to update their server with the latest security release (still
running 8.1.3), so it is probably pretty much moot :)
