I bet you'd also like somebody other than you to patch your systems in a
timely fashion.

Security isn't about receiving notifications to your Inbox in a timely
fashion.  It is about being proactive yourself.  You should be the one
taking measures to secure your systems, and you should be the one ACTIVELY
LOOKING for problems.  Watching mailing lists isn't enough, and this was
announced very early on the ERRATA page.

Do something for yourself.
