Why are you using graphics engines in your IT stack?
I guess because I am not using a VT 100 terminal, rather a desktop computer using a GPU to provide a nice modern user experience.

The biggest theme on Linux Security Summit 2018 was taming security exploits on Linux kernel due to C's lack of security.

I count at least 10 talks about this subject.

So apparently the review process, approvals and current static validation is still not enough.
