Random observation of the day - why is scap-security-guide not one of the packages that always goes into security when it is updated?



Given that selinux updates are  (per the FAQ), that is...



I guess that selinux is more active at runtime, and scap-security-guide/openscap is passive might be a good argument. And the FAQ does cover it.



Not trying to start any arguments, just wondering.



Our spin is going into an LTM phase per a change in direction from our management, and revisiting the whole security updates for prior releases policy. And we do push use of openscap and the scap-security-guide, which gets good enhancements that should be backward compatible.



Ah well, as I said, not trying to start an argument, and just something that sunk into my head today...
