It does not seem reasonable to publicly excoriate AOOo for having a private security list restricted to members while you are simultaneously and without notice proceed to enforce the same policy for the TDF security list. Some might even say that was disingenuous and hypocritical. In any case, I see very little basis for trust here. What I see is attempts by TDF/LO members to politicize security, from the start, raising FUD about issues in an apparent attempt to scare users away from AOOo. I see you sharing information about subscribers on a private security list in attempts to score points and embarrass list participants. I see a TDF blog post that is full of misstatements and inaccuracies about a non-existant vulnerability, one that the original RedHat expert now admits is not a security issue. All I'm doing is suggesting that we treat AOOo security like we do for every other Apache project. But you are playing games and trying to score points. This is not a reasonable basis for trust. -Rob
