But we treat this as a regular bug, not a security bug, because of the fixes mentioned in comment #1." So, I would imagine that statement means that they are going to fix the segfault issue as a RHBA, not an RHSA. This likely means it will happen, but the QA and regression testing will be longer and more thorough as it is not a time critical security issue.
