Did you read what he said about that, though? It's so beyond credulity that it makes me wonder about his sanity: "The vulnerabilities are there. The fact that someone in China in the middle of the night patched it--there is nothing that says integrity will come out of that process. We have a process that will lead to sustainable level of quality. Not saying we are the cat's meow here--I'm saying it is absolutely not good reasoning to think you will get better quality out of Linux. " In the middle of the night in China?! LOL!
