Any developer that worth his salary can see the context of the security patch modifications

How not to sell embedded Linux

What if the original bug is fixable in version 2.6.n+10 because of the infrastructure that
created 800,000 lines of code added dispersed across version 2.6.n+5, 2.6.n+7 and 2.6.n+10?  I
admit that this is a rather hypothetical situation, though.
