Thanks! Is it surprising that they open source it? That gives their adversaries opportunity to look for weaknesses in their code. And as for benefit for apple, ... it seems to be exposing the fact that they have a mixture of tabs and spaces and have let someone edit an absolutely critical file with no code review or testing.

What you say is true. But security through obscurity doesn't work, because people are very good at reverse engineering and decompiling. So your choices are either: open source your crypto code and suffer some embarrassments which people will forget and forgive, or have closed source crypto code that either doesn't work or can be exploited in subtle ways. Pick your poison. :)
