Trojaned release of OpenSSH because the project leader ran a
horribly-coded IRC client on the CVS server?  A string of exploits in
OpenSSH?

What they're doing is necessary, but it's not sufficient.  Call it a
good step one.  (And lest anybody think I'm flaming OpenBSD here, it's a
step one that hardly anybody else has taken.  They're way ahead of the
curve.)

Step two is probably reducing complexity, but I'm a weak coder so
I'll shut the eff up now.
