I mentioned security explicitly in my message.  Just not in the portion
you quoted.

I mean, nothing currently guarantees that security fixes go out in a
timely manner, for all sorts of reasons.  If we're going to get serious
about reducing that time, I would think there's a more productive way to
do that than dumping all FTBFS packages because they _might_ one day
have a security issue that needs fixing.  But yes, certainly dump all
that have open security bugs.
