Wow, if they can achieve that, I'll be impressed, though I'm worried it'll 
probably be achieved through a kernel-specific cheat (like building only a 
monolithic kernel for QEMU with no modules at all, and using custom kernels 
built separately for actual hardware as they currently do), which won't help 
all the other packages with similar build time requirements (qt, kdelibs, 
kde-workspace, xulrunner, firefox, libreoffice etc. Yes, all those DO get 
security updates!).
