Re: ISSUE-28: \"available security information\"

Echoing comments I've made on the calls, I am also a fan of this  
section.  Not only does it document the context in which  
recommendations were generated (Mez's point) but it is also a  
reasonably useful list to which to refer; at least for me.  I'm fine  
with changing the language though, so that we don't claim to be  
something we're not.

Cheers,

J
