I appreciate the addition of a security only full drupal archive too
but as you may have guessed not as much as the diff. Being able to
see at a glance what were the changes quickly looks a quite
reasonable use case as well.
Since there is no quick path to the right place of the git web
interface I think the new security advisory format lost an important
feature that shouldn't be hard to resurrect, that would make
unnecessary to bet on which format is serving drupal best.
