If continual GUI crashes cause people to lose trust in the operating system, that's *more* severe for that system than the occasional security issue. > Think about it.... there are more > people engaged in penetrating, propagating security holes than filing > common bug reports.... it definitely isn't a time-waster for them. Do you have any numbers to back that up? RedHat/Fedora's bugzilla is sitting at well over 450,000 bugs now. Remember that *for the user who files the common bug report*, it's not a time-waster for *them* either.
