Linus：吹嘘OpenBSD安全性的开发者是一帮自慰的猴子

Send_linux

在Linux 2.6.25.10稳定版发布的邮件列表上，一位开发者提到了关于修正bug安全影响的披露政策，并再三的强调安全。Linus Torvalds回贴中表示，安全漏洞臭虫只是众多臭虫的一种，过于拔高或赞美安全臭虫的修正者是走在错误的方向上。Linus大神称那帮整天炫耀 OpenBSD安全性的家伙其实是一群自慰的猴子，好像除了安全性，没有其它东西能让他们兴奋起来。安全是重要的，但不等于一切。

Btw, and you may not like this, since you are so focused on security, one
reason I refuse to bother with the whole security circus is that I think
it glorifies - and thus encourages - the wrong behavior.

It makes "heroes" out of security people, as if the people who don't just
fix normal bugs aren't as important.

In fact, all the boring normal bugs are _way_ more important, just because
there's a lot more of them. I don't think some spectacular security hole
should be glorified or cared about as being any more "special" than a
random spectacular crash due to bad locking.

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't
stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in
that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the
point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

To me, security is important. But it's no less important than everything
*else* that is also important!

我也觉得，安全不是最主要的，特别是对像我这样的普通用户

用户群不一样，linus又得罪人了，嘴没把门的乱说！

可以翻看那个maillist，前面有人肉毛了他，对linux的项目组指手画脚，所以受不了了，呵呵

安全性、稳定性、高效性，这是我最关心的

这家伙口无遮拦

我最心的速度和稳定性！！！！慢的东西再安全也没用！

说的不错
对大部分企业来说，一款商业软件，把客户需要的功能做的易用是最重要的。

可恶的

安全、稳定、节省资源，这个是最重要的，至于桌面这类华而不实的玩意儿，我是无所谓。
不过话说回来，OpenBSD本来就不是针对桌面用户开发的，设计标准不同而已，好歹人家也找到了BSD的漏洞。
