Comment 2 for bug 1313187

Well my comment above is not correct, given the intentions of ongoing security updates and/or eventual MRE.

<mdeslaur> in this case, he needs to get a couple of updates sponsored by the security team, and then can apply for a MRE
<mdeslaur> so he needs to file a bug, propose some updated packages that only touch the tarball, etc.
<mdeslaur> if that goes well for a couple of releases, he can get an MRE and then do non-security updates too
