is possibly self-serving but seems pretty realistic to me.

My point, for those who seem to have missed it, is that on the others security is considered a top goal and highlighted as such on the home page. I similarly excluded FreeBSD because it's not highlighted as a top requirement. I also excluded Debian - freeness drives the Debian project, usability drives Ubuntu.

Agreed, but you have enough experience to know that good intentions and strict attention to narrow goals don't produce the best results every time. I'm much more comfortable with a project that recognizes that unexpected security flaws may exist and has the ability to correct them quickly than one that says that because an expert has looked over the code, there can't be any security issues. You do need a balance, of course and some tolerance for over-hype in project goals compared to what is delivered.
