There's some optimisits in this world, aren't there
The amount of attention that particular source code is going to get in the next few months, there's absolurtely no way anyone is going to look at it and ask, "What does this uncommented bit with all the goto statements in it do?", is there?

Mind you, since we in the Unix world have to rely on the inherent security of our systems and cannot merely issue $250,000 rewards and threaten people with - what was his name again? "Bubba"? - I suppose they thought they'd have a go.

World's full of triers, isn't it? For near-on three and a half decades, of continuous networked use, the barbarians have been banging on the gates of Unix, trying to get in. WierdOS is, what? nearly ten years old, now? So, in another two and a half decades, the whole network should be looking pretty stable. Excellent!
