No. I would use a more appropriate tool, because I will never refuse to use anything that's in my toolbox, like Theo did. :)

That's fine, but not a great analogy. Because once you ship software, everybody has access to that tool.

No matter if you agree or disagree, Theo/OpenBSD made a engineering choice and did what they thought was the right choice for OpenBSD users. As fellow engineers, we should realize how difficult that is, and that the discussion deserves a bit more nuance, depth and respect.

I still don't full understand the trade-offs.
