→Advantages of People-based security
** the limitless distribution does '''not''' impact on security, as long as "security updates" are enabled on a user's device (or otherwise regularly checked: it's a "pull" mechanism, not a "push" mechanism).
* dynamic package updates ''can'' be done, by creating a new URI schema ([[#New URI proposal (apt:// or yum://)]])
* security-blacklisted apps can, under the debian scheme:
** be listed on an equivalent of http://security.debian.org
** have a special replacement package which even renames the package to "blacklisted-{packagename}" by adding a "Replaces: {packagename}" into the package's control file. (see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces)
