It just occurred to me (hey I'm stupid) that there is a possibility that 
TUV might release security updates/errata at a time when many/most of the 
main SL people are expecting to have some kind of vacation.

Now I suspect that TUV are unlikely to release much on various dates which 
are commonly vacation-days -- since their staff take time off too -- but 
since there is an inevitable delay between an announcment and being able 
to get/build/test the update SRPMs, this may run into 'holidays' etc.

I started thinking about this because of the recent SAs for 
tar/seamonkey/firefox/thunderbird -- I'd include URLs but that would mean 
referencing TUV.  Anyway being released on 19th December is possibly 
uncomfortably close -- like I doubt that the SL3/4 packages can be made 
before the 23rd...

Of course our users are probably (mostly at least) away too so the risks 
of delaying the installation a few more days are probably lower too.

Am I worrying over nothing?  I'm told that I often do.
