Too bad :-( Linux-kernel has been found insecure much more times, but it's not a reason to remove linux-kernel from SUSE distro. Comparing the complexity of the kernel with a simple thing like an FTP daemon is not really what I call good argumentation ... Also, I can't remember any _remotely_ exploitable bug in kernel, which is again something different compared with an ftpd.
