No, comment filters don't work perfectly

I always found the instance of not opening up LWN source a little silly.

I mean:
- sure the code likely looks like crap. It is not as if we all don't write crap code.
- yes, there are likely exploitable bugs there.

Given the popularity of this site, it would surely get reviewed and cleaned fast, AND I would be more likely to get fancier features at LWN.

Hey Jon, please consider placing a git repository somewhere and announcing only for subscribers. Within a month, the code would likely get cleaned AND you would have enough material to write a few major articles out of the experience.
