At this point nobody with a clue will take this or any of its descendents seriously. Think. Imagine I've just managed to crack the OpenBSD front page. To announce to the world my great whatever, I put up a Japanese translation of the OpenBSD front page.
The OpenBSD people actually do understand security. That statement, "Sounds like a security issue", indicates both that you have no concept of what security is and that you are presumptious enough to tell those who do understand it better than anone else, what is a security issue.
