Out of the same politeness i ask why you feel this way? Does source code
make an OS more vulnerable? Does that mean an OS with source is developed
more insecurly than an OS without src? Take BSDI and Solaris.
Which of the 2 is more insecure or which is more secure?
Neither come standard with src. To me this is truly baffling.
