I'm sad to see a new security module implemented. Why? Because it discredits Linux.
It discredits Linux to admit that the existing security modules aren't good enough. It discredits Linux to admit that security modules themselves are even necessary in the first place.
We must do everything in our power to ensure that Linux thrives. That means playing the marketing game. If it's bad for marketing, then it's bad for the whole project.
Insecurity is simply something that cannot be admitted up front. It must be cloaked in secrecy. If you reveal the cards in your hand, then your enemies will take the pot. It's that simple.
Perhaps it's time to release a completely closed-source version of Linux. One that doesn't let hackers find holes like these. One that'll protect our vital national secrets from the eyes of those who would steal them.
Because if we let them take our secrets, then we're letting them take our lives.
It's then a short trip in a handbasket to the abyss of anarchy and hell as we know it.
Crime breeds more crime. Criminal hacking contributes to murder and mayhem. We must take a stand, here.
