FYI while I'm a fan of force-pushing, I'd recommend against it for RFCs as the commits regularly get referenced. |

The challenge there is setting the right tone of "there are divergences, this needs further investigation" rather than "this is bad!". Unsure if that can be satisfied on a Security tab, or if it needs to be a Health tab or maybe an Insights tab?
