Oh if only it was more popular, yeah just like Heartbleed was caught in OpenSSL. My point was the eyeballs argument is often made as a claim about the absence of bugs at the present time. When in fact it simply means "it is possible for people to look at it and find and fix bugs" no more no less. The mere ability does not magically translate to security. And the ability does not automatically imply that it is being done.
