 Just ask yourself if software vendors other than Debian can do so. 
  
 Can Microsoft release new versions of Windows, Office, Exchange, 
 Sharepoint within 48 hours of receiving a claim that something 
 infringes on someones rights? Including internal communication, 
 identification of the relevant subsystem, implementing and testing 
 required changes to other subsystems, rebuilding installation images, 
 substituting retail packages, ... 
  
 Can Oracle, Cisco, SAP, SuSE/Novell/Micro Focus/*, Red Hat, IBM, ... do 
 that?
