Stuff like this is why I am increasingly getting back into BSD and recently Minix3. I think this is just part of a larger issue with the *nix ecosystem, where lots of philosophical and design assertions are proving to no longer work, while some are falsely being said to no longer work but still do. With the linux kernel now at over 10 million lines of code, the idea of peer review of source code seems too big of a job for random unpayed volunteers. I think we need to move back to simplicity and decentralization as much as possible, because the problem with centralization is that it makes for a weak system.
