Yes, kick Kurt Roeckx from his admin privileges to start. It's the easiest
most basic thing you can do. Zero tolerance for crippling software like he
did and it should go for everyone, lest you want another scandal. He still
maintains the critical package that he was either threatened or paid -
probably the latter - to cripple the entropy on by the NSA, and they've had
a war on randomness for a long time now. It should have been done in 2008
when it was discovered after 3 years (that long? perhaps other heads should
roll too). Don't let him resign just remove his auth and leave his
collected things in a box by the door. And not just for OpenSSL, he
contributes to ntp as well. Banish them, theres a line of talented good
people who are in line to replace them.
