Ivan and Greg: I like the new format. I have had customers who didn't want all the other stuff. However, I wonder how the Update Status module is going to handle having 6.22 available if 6.21 is installed. But, I am sure that Derek has it covered already.

>From a security standpoint, the omission of the patch is probably better. Hackers may be persistent, but they are also often lazy. If they have to make a few more clicks to find where the exposure is, they may just move on to an easier target.
