“destroyed in a heartbeat”
I’ve recently stumbled across this slashdot article (mirrored)wherein the comments, MadX says:
*If* such a mechanism was coded in, the nature of open source would mean it would be found by others. This in turn would compromise the trust of the ENTIRE kernel. That trust can take years to build up – but be detroyed in a heartbeat.
Now that has a special irony.
