sorry - don't get your point here. Are you saying bundled extensions 
(that might be bundled by specific version to ensure compatibility with 
the distribution) should not get "updated" if a security leak was found 
and fixed? In the concept I described, you would only have to edit a 
configuration file/form and raise the minimum version number for the 
bundled extension (like in ext_emconf.php) - no need for repacking etc.

Providing up2date and secure distributions is for me a must have - 
otherwise drop this 'official' distribution idea completely.
