So what I am wondering is that in the case of the important new critical 
vuln that everyone is anxious to check their systems for, that in this case, 
one might have to wait a week to get access to the Tenable plugin.  This 
would be if the Tenable plugin were submitted before the GPL plugin and they 
were redundant.  I would presume if the GPL plugin were submitted first that 
it would make it in and it would be immediately available?

Thanks
