IMHO, the key words in Richard's posting are ``[not] enough expertise'',It's not about releases, it's about auditing a product before the authors accually have made their minds up about where the product is going. Tinc started out as a idea on using the tap device for something useful. It migrated to a pretty nice vpn solution.
and ``a track record''. The idea that the [conceptual] flaws will be
fixed in The Next Release [TM], although quite common amongst the
people, is a mere instance of a proof by wishful thinking. Clueless
authors will always produce crappy software, regardless of how long
they've been in the business.
Even linus made some pretty bad coding errors when he started out with linux, if you want to imply that when software, or a part of it was once flawed, you shouldn't trust the author ever, you shouldn't use linux at all.
