[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA

[simonhandel]

It is usual that bugs are produced by people who write code, especially in a  
program as complex as openssl. In my opinion it is not legitimate to claim  
that someone's bug is a backdoor. One must keep in mind that Debian (as well  
as many other distributions) was never designed to give security the topmost  
priority. Even Linus Torvald said that he 'consider[s] security bugs to be  
just "normal bugs"' and he 'is not interested in adding even the option of  
very useful security features that can help prevent buffer overflow  
exploitation'.

I disagree with you about the primary goal of Tor and I have a different  
point of view concerning news magazines. But I have no desire to argue with  
you about these issues. I think your judgment about other people is too  
strong.
