Tom Ptacek and friends have been blogging at a furious pace. He recently argued against Dan Geer’s latest article supporting software diversity as a means of “improving security” Halvar Flake argues software monoculture is a stupid idea, and diversity is stronger.

If your goal is survivability, I can’t see how Monoculture or diversity will meet your goals.”]
