Sorry, but that's precisely what we have to do, and ASAP. Please let me reiterate that the purpose of -security is *not* to fix hardware where the release did not install before. That's bad luck. Breaking hardware where it did install before is absolutely not acceptable.

Can you please prepare a feisty-security upload that reverts this change to the state of the release? Thank you!
