Got this from one of the OpenBSD lists I'm on. For those of you who
don't know Theo de Raadt is the founder of OpenBSD. A very secure and
stable OS.

I just wanted to say... "Told you so".

Quite amusing.

Of course we know this is not the last time this will happen.

More problems like this will be exposed, and it is my hope that
vendors who refuse to participate in the open communities will get
punished more firmly than open vendors. I also hope that their
embedded^Husers feel the pain, so that one day they will stand beside
us when we ask for open documentaion.
