What I find perversely amusing is that the statement is true,
quantitatively (number of dollars, developers, lawyers). And yet,
OpenBSD is *still* clearly ahead of the game in terms of security.

People who demand a big organization to fall back on cleary have never
tried calling a technical support line. (And yes, I've done technical
support.)
