Could you tell me about the other known bugs privately? I don't care at all about minor issues or new device drivers. If somebody wants more feature or 2.0.x happens to be unstable he should upgrade to 2.2.x. I only care about installed systems that if are running 2.0.x it means 2.0.x is rock solid for them. In such envinronment only a security issue can generate troubles. So I think I can care about security issues in the most important subsystems (of the order of the ping -R crash at least) to not force admin to upgrade to 2.2.x due security exploits. They should upgrade ASAP though (2.0.x security fixes have low priority).
