Comment 109 for bug 885027

"I side with Kovid. I admire him for doing this app. Because ever since Red Hat 7 or 8 I keep reading on the open source (not free software!) forums something along the lines of „if you need it — go build it, now p*** off as we're doing something cool”. He has gotten up and wrote this which is quite unique at the moment. Also he bothers to keep it updated quite often while most of the open source projects (including corporate backed Open Office for example) stagnate."

Siddartha - I believe most of the problem was Kovid's handling the remediations. I'm not familiar with Donenfeld (my apologies), but Rosenberg is *often* credited with CVE's for his bug hunting abilities. Check the next set of kernel patches - I would wager Rosenberg has three or four to his credit.
