Is there a technical version of this Full-Disclosure list?, or
is this just the list for discussing the finer academic intricacies of
balanced arguments?

Personally I'd prefer the vendor notifications to be put on a parallel
list, because
        1. A flurry of 100s of one-man-and-their-dog Linux distributions
           announcing a security update obscures the real discussion
           (especially as each announcement is in its own thread).
        2. I already get (multiple) copies of this stuff.  Save the
           electrons, give me a chance to not duplicate to that extent.

introspective list I have ever been on :-) ]
