Hi!
I subscribed to security-announce a long time ago and thought I would
receive information about security annoucements, but contrary to what is
stated on http://openbsd.org/mail.html:
"security-announce - Security announcements. This low volume list
receives OpenBSD security advisories and pointers to security patches as
they become available.",
as is easily verifyable here:
http://www.sigmasoft.com/~openbsd/archives/html/openbsd-security-announce/
together with:
http://openbsd.org/errata44.html,
the patches are not announced.
If the stated annoucement process via mailing list is unreliable or
untimely, I'd think it's useless, and with it that mailing list.
Regards
Peer
