Description

When doing a security release, we may not want to change JIRA to reflect that such a release is coming. Therefore, it would be nice to provide custom-made versions instead of allowing releasedocs to run. Since other features may require tweaking during a security release, let's create a --security flag which disables this behavior and potentially future behavior.
