Do you think so little of the vendors that you believe they won't want to fix an error in a widely-used security-critical OS component? Do you think so little of the ability of the Mozilla team to communicate on the details on a matter of platform security? When programming anything, you have to decide what components you're going to depend on, and what you're going to write and maintain yourself. On a codec, or C library, or whatever. And if there are issues with the foundation, then applications will have issues. Other applications will have issues, too. And if you're rolling your own code for common tasks, there will still be issues. You'll all of them, too. And you'll have a much larger project. |

Considering he never said that... no?

Pointless, that'll still get them blamed.

You have a larger project but you control all the variables, or as many as you can anyway. And you can handle everything on your schedule, you don't have to depend on a third party which may or may not play ball with you (and may have absolutely no interest in playing ball).
