Everything has a poor security track record. That's the point.

1. That's bollocks. Obvious bullshit. All software doesn't have the same security track record. Do you also think sendmail and seL4 have an equally poor security track record?

2. Even if everything did have an equally poor security track record, why would that mean security bugs are no more significant than any other bug?

Honestly I'm dubious you've thought about this at all.

Well, except OpenBSD. They’ve only had two vulns in forever.

Only two remote code execution vulnerabilities in the default configuration. But that's not the only type of security bug.

		As `tptacek caught on to, I was joking since OpenBSD's published claim is such a convenient comparison to the idea upthread that Linux specifically had a poor track record.

You mean "in the default install, in a heck of a long time". :)
