WBEL updates are hard to track. Lineox has an automated system which 
checks if updates are available, builds them, pushes to dl server, where 
another  script checks if any new packages are ready and manually 
signed and sends a message to a public mailing list. Tao and Scientific 
send messages by hand which has an advantage in that they usually add some  
comments about severity etc., but at least once Tao has been couple of 
days late with messages.  

So there are only three clones which can be easily compared that way. 
Comparing WBEL that way may end up in hard to verify and quite fruitless 
arguments.
