I have noticed that a lot of server admins here are somewhat displeased 
with Valve's lax approach to some of the more recent server exploits.  
While this may be hogwash, I think it might be due to Valve not being 
able to replicate the the bugs.  I also have noticed that debugging 
srcds is not very fruitful for us since we don't have a special debug 
version of srcds.

Thus, I propose that Valve starts a few honeypot servers, that get 
regular traffic.  These honeypot servers would allow Valve to run the 
special debug version of srcds so that when crashes and other exploits 
occur, they have all the information they need to properly investigate 
the bug.  I realize this is easier said than done, but it would allow 
for Valve to see that said bugs DO in fact exist. 

Just an Idea
