Sure, if you can write web page code you're obviously capable of writing everything else, obviously.
Come on, comparing kernel updates to javascript web apps is literally childish. Go tell Torvalds that his code is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, while you're at it.
Let's not confuse the issue, shall we ? We're talking about a humongous security hole that is without any control or oversight.
OSes have their issues, web hosting as well, but they are much more scrutinized than web apps and it is the total lack of oversight that is the problem.
