<sigh>
No one can reasonably say that the practices of the OpenSSL programmers result in secure code. No one can reasonably say that lots of people examining it later for defects is a good idea.
We have lots of legacy code in C. The only sane way to maintain it is tests: unit tests, functional tests, and static code analysis.
> a lot of OpenSSL's issues are due to legacy code
i.e. the OpenSSL people don't care to actively maintain / clean up their software.
What a depressing statement to make.
