It is impressive that the Gentoo breakin was discovered
within an hour. Perhaps the free software community
in general needs to come up with a consensus list of best practices
(such as intrusion detection systems)
that should be employed on public and development servers,
start tracking which servers do implement these best
practices, and encourage those who have not yet implemented
best practices to do so.
