Re: The only sane thing to do

I know it's open source, but frankly it's used everywhere and just imagine if it caused a fire/explosion/death. Could you imagine the lawyers chasing the ambulances?

That said, we're not talking playdoh here. I know Linux is a community project, but we're not talking a communist utopia. Linux is serious business behind the scenes of really important economies, if some kids can fuck it up for a laugh, without the scent of peer review, wtf is going on?
