So you choose to ignore the history of a project which has had security as one of its top goals since around when the project was born. You choose to ignore the fact that these people have in the past fixed or removed lots of bad code (even using mean words in commit messages and possibly on the mailing lists) because that is in line with their goals. Attacking bad code is in line with their goals, and that is what they have done for almost 20 years. If they do not do it, the goal of being the most secure operating system is unattainable.
So when the media interviews Theo about it, is Theo being the attention whore? Did Theo offend you somehow? Did you read the article you linked?
I did not make this decision... in our larger development group, it made itself.
You willfully choose to ignore reality and interpret it against the OpenBSD project. Why all the hate? They are trying to make better software. And everyone does benefit (so long as OpenBSD stays afloat, which costs money). Maybe you should look for origins of libressl, and also watch Bob's talk, which was mentioned here.
