@tazza that kind of behavior and language isn't acceptable here. If you'd like to keep participating at LQ please refrain from it moving forward.

... the lamest vendor response award went to Systemd supremo Lennart Poettering for his controversial, and perhaps questionable, handling of the following bugs in everyone's favorite init replacement: 5998, 6225, 6214, 5144, and 6237 that we covered here.

"Where you are dereferencing null pointers, or writing out of bounds, or not supporting fully qualified domain names, or giving root privileges to any user whose name begins with a number, there's no chance that the CVE number will referenced in either the change log or the commit message," reads the Pwnie nomination for Systemd, referring to the open-source project's allergy to assigning CVE numbers.
"But CVEs aren't really our currency any more, and only the lamest of vendors gets a pwnie!"

@Doug G, you've been along long enough to know that kind of behavior isn't acceptable at LQ.
