That's the biggest crock I've ever heard.

"the world of free source" thrives on opinionated stupidity. Nobody
ever really fixes anything well, because the opinionated dickhead who
ends up dong the fix always decides it's "somebody elses problem", and
wastes shitloads more time arguing about why they should not have to
be the person to solve something or other than it would have taken to
just do as they're asked in the first place.

Add to that - when you look at their (usually comment-free) code, it's
always amazing that any fix works at all.

Heh,

Ok can't refute your statement.

I think I should have made my point by stating that
the motive I describe is one to go by.
Or I could throw in responsibility...

But it seems my motives are too naive for a burdend free source
user/developer.

And indeed opinionated stupidity is the basis on which theo released
the "preliminary" advisory and the following I might add.
