Not the parent commenter, but: A proven kernel could be seen as taking control away on devices where root access cannot be legitimately obtained. I guess some might perceive it as scary given many people in tech circles root their phones (and similar devices), when root access is normally obtained through OS-level security bugs, and it is often (though I think somewhat decreasingly?) used to install third-party OSes on such devices.
- pflanze 12y agoAgreed, although the blame then still lies with the device the secure kernel is running on, or the company that produces it, or the client for choosing to buy it. I guess you can say that proven software is power, and power can be misused.
