Stop the world, I want to get off

Just discovered something cool - a real-time open-source software activity log which monitors CVS checkins.

Amazing to see CVS checkins going on around the clock. Open-Source Software really is a global phenomenon.

But it's more than just information, it's a real indication of project activity. I mean I've known about Planet GNOME News for a while, but this sort of planet-style aggregation of CVS commits is a great idea.

The next step? How about security patch information? LWN and Linux Today have security pages and feeds, but not quite in the right form. LWN has good security info, but not in an RSS feed. Linux Today have advisories mixed in with general security articles, but one big RSS feed. If we had LWN security advisories for the major distributions available as an RSS feed, that'd be sweet.
