The nature of these issues means we cannot publicly discuss most of
the details. On some level, you're just going to have to trust Matthew
Miller on what he says on behalf of Red Hat. Red Hat lawyers aren't
going to step into this thread or any other thread about this stuff
and say anything meaningful. While we would like the information, it's
legal suicide to give up that information, so they won't.

It sucks, but it is what it is.
