> the 'many eyes make all bugs shallow' views

You don't believe that, do you?

The number of counter-examples of long-standing bugs in widely available and active open-source systems should be large enough to call it now. Especially in subtle, complex systems where there is no documentation of the design itself - just code.

Bugs in code generators and race conditions in kernels do not become shallow by making the source available to millions of developers with no experience in those domains.
