Thank you very much for pointing that out, Martin.

One of the things that people in the online world often forget, and that I myself forget occasionally, is that companies almost never move on Internet time: Policies and programs just don't change overnight in the corporate world. In this case, by the standard of most companies, Red Hat's corrective action was very speedy, and I commend them highly on what is reported to be their thorough and serious approach to the issue.
