It's such a bizarre viewpoint. I wonder when Linus will see sense.

IMO it's pretty obviously not a view that they seriously hold, it's just one of those technical justifications people come up with to avoid admitting something they don't want to admit - in this case that Linux has a poor security track record.

Linus? You mean, the same Linus who thinks "security people are f*cking morons", and "security bugs are just bugs"?

Linus is the reason why kernel team doesn't talk to distros. For them bugs are bugs, security related or not.

Literally never. Why would he? He's surrounded by sycophants. And we have Greg for whenever Linus isn't involved anymore, and Greg is just as boneheaded.
