As a security person I enjoy blaming the NSA and conspiracies as much as anyone.

That said sorry but I don't buy this. Just seeing a diff with that one + makes me more inclined to believe there was an if(...) goto fail that someone removed without removing the statement as well.

There is more than enough incompetence in our industry that a deliberate job is completely unnecessary, why bother when engineers break security all the time anyways?
