Hmm... wasn't aware we discriminated against proprietary packagers. I'd think
companies like truviso and greenplum (and edb if they had different people in
charge) would all be interested in rolling out security updates asap, and all
have distributions of some level of popularity where it's in .org's best
interest to make sure they stay updated (edb the most, though again they get
the insider info anyway).
