Just so.  On the other hand, if it happens, among other 
things it vindicates that open source is particularly 
attractive where open code inspection enhances security. 
That is one of the best reasons I know of for going with 
open source:  no cherry bombs as long as one maintains 
traceability to the code source prior to compilation.
