Ugh, this is misleading enough that the post should probably be corrected - how many Apache HTTPD users are having fits trying to figure out how to fix this "vulnerability" ??

The sort of fool who can ask, or seriously consider, the question "Should Star Trek Die?" really doesn't "get it".

Star Trek is, above all else, an optimistic vision of a future in which humanity has successfully addressed certain critical challenges, facilitating its expansion beyond its germinal, fragile, distressed habitat into the community of the stars.

The question Kowinski is really asking is "should the conceptually tiny, creatively moribund, and increasingly irrelevant commercial aspect of Star Trek - a greedy engine focusing primarily on pandering to an unenlightened mass audience with an oatmeal-like mush of vapid books, television programs, and movies - die ??".

The answer??

Who cares! It can't affect the vision.

Kowinski's feebleminded conception and narrow world-view would appear to rule out the possibility of his (intentionally) putting together any words which might be of relevance.
