It's a good example because the fix for this CVE actually came by itself (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git/tree/debian.master/changelog). Normally multiple CVEs come at the same time, which would make a workaround for one now helpful. This is a good counter-example. I'm going to maintain that I really don't like this. But it looks useful, so ack on the concept, I'll just have to look again at the code now. Thanks for indulging me. -serge
