You don't need to add that clause as long as you maintain a set of 
baseline configurations.  If you deploy all routers with the same code, or 
as close to it as possible, then you don't have to remember individual 
security alerts, because as you update the code on your existing routers, 
you should be creating a new baseline that should be installed on all 
newly deployed routers.
