I admit the times at the end chart scare me. That's a fairly complicated chart. Within Red Hat there was discussion about how to best classify security issues, this is what we came up with: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/ When one has to classify security threats, less is more. I would suggest something more along these lines: Critical: Don't bother waiting for the maintainer, do whatever it takes to fix it. Important: A few days. Moderate: A few weeks. Low: A few months. -- JB
