Well, in the end, it's all done for the users. Keeping software up-to-date
is easier than following advisories, even more so if there is an
auto-update functionality. So I don't understand the big deal about not
reissuing advisories for upstream projects, which takes a lot of time for
dubious effect.

Although the point becomes moot once you are talking about libraries that
are not directly used, unlike major Firefox-level applications. E.g.:

opinion matters, at least).
