When there are updates for security problems, it would be very, very helpful
to me if these have the tag "[SECURITY]" at the beginning of the subject.
Like this:

<https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-January/msg00001.html>

And I think that'd be useful for others as well, especially when browsing
the archives. Here, we use it to automatically file urgent bugs in our own
bugzilla tracking system so we know to push updates to all of our systems as
soon as possible. Non-security updates get less urgency. It's very nice for
a simple script to be able to tell the difference, but, lacking good AI :) I
really depend on the tag from you guys.

Thanks!
