CVE Must-Have Coverage

["Mann, Dave" <damann@mitre.org>]

Folks,

Below, please find a somewhat stabilizing set of vulnerability sources.

I've tried to capture the best consensus (not pure votes but close).

Please review the list and holler loudly and quickly if you see something you can't live with.   This is a living document so nothing is cast in stone.  Still gaining a level of agreement on the scope is a necessary first step.

I'm particularly concerned at the almost complete lack of desktop or enterprise software packages being called out by vendor.

Some are listed but by no means the majority.  The implication to me is that we're very much relying on non-vendor sources to shed light on these types of software.
