You know, I am no security expert. I was posing a question. I frequently see HN comments question security of a number of applications, none of which are as critical an interface with production servers as the lowly terminal. For example, a recent replacement for ls was highlighted on HN, and there were questions of whether one would want to install use an untested application due to security concerns. In the case a terminal, it seems to be even a bigger potential issue since it is what one frequently types passwords in for sudo. I am quite surprised at the tone of comments.
