How can they "withhold" the number of security patches made to U.S. coders when they are distributing the source code?@?#%#@?%?#@? This seems rather absurd. Way back in the beginning somebody wrote a program called 'diff'. Granted it might be nice if somebody came out and said 'this is what we patched' and spoon fed it to you like the nightly news. If you want to know what was changed rub a couple brain cells together and figure it out.
