> Languages do not make bugs, people do.

Right. That's why it's a good idea to use languages that help people to avoid common mistakes.

> Rewriting something is only guaranteeing that more bugs be created initially.

Neither of us has empirical evidence for that (or maybe you do, I don't know), but let's say your right. A rewrite would at least give us a sane way to move forward (see the first item on my list).

+1 - I just don't see any real solution to the problem. I do think that because Linux is more widely used it is running into the same issues Microsoft has/had where the vulnerabilities are more widely exploitable.

Diversity definitely has it's benefits.
