If one assumes that failures will happen, then open source is to be preferred insofar as in that case (the collective) we can learn something from said failures. That being so, then the more one depends on XYZ the more one needs XYZ to be open source, along with the build environment through which it passes. --dan [ It is impossible to ascertain at the time of introduction whether something new will or will not go to scale. ] _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
