Would you trust the word of somebody under prosecution? Would you let him free
just because he says I'm not guilty? Or would you ook for some evidence? If the
doubt that the SSDF list is not correct is raised you can't use conclusions
drwan from it to argue in its fawor.

Well the only thing that is evident to me is that they could have had waited to
publish a more complete list: it is clear that now it is a turning point because
of the new hardware (by the way I wonder for how long they will find K6-II to
buy) but that's a good reason enough to say: we have now list for a while
because we need more data. To say no news is way better to report partial
truths...IMHO
