Hi,

Thanks for the latest releases with security fixes.

While I appreciate that all of the development of these security fixes was in public (without mentioning it was a security fix - well at least the remote code exec), I'm wondering if security releases could occur on a weekday where sysadmins need not forsake part of their weekend to correct a public vulnerability. Just my thoughts and preferences. I appreciate others may consider things different.

It also appears that the fedora 17 mariadb galera updates are only partially pushed. Maybe its just my setup after switching from non-galera repo.
