Slashdot features Security Holes Draw Linux Developers’ Ire. Linux security patch developers are upset about the lack of response to their discovery of Linux kernel vulnerabilities. This is an unfortunate indictment of part of our software engineering community, especially when Linux is being deployed in ever more important places. I am disappointed that this is the case. I prefer the BSD model, where users and administrators know that CURRENT is bleeding edge and STABLE is more or less that — “stable” Linux vendors will have no choice but to heavily patch the “vanilla” Linux kernel.”]
