What, me worry?
Actually, I won't worry about this particular update until something
or someone provides reason to. But what does concern me is the sheer
volume and frequency of kernel updates for RHEL5. I count 13 or 14,
over the year that RHEL5 has been out. I don't remember that 3 or 4
were ever like this. I don't think a Fedora install on a home system
has seen as many kernel updates. Have we just been lucky, with
better than average numbers of vulnerabilities found and fixed, or
does RedHat have a new policy for releasing kernel updates for RHEL?
