Hi,

some of you might have noticed that we introduced CPE based
features such as Inventory and Policy checks.

In cpe.inc you find a translation table from current KB entries
to CPE. It will further grow.

I am convinced that it makes sense to use CPE also internally whenever possible.
A good thing about it is that CVEs are always associated with the respective CPEs
so it should get even easier to generate/develop CVE-based alerts.

Opinions, concerns are welcome before we go into writing a Change Request.

Best

	Jan
