Richard, I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. You have
had a clear explanation of why certain things are done in a certain
way in the FreeBSD codebase, and a confirmation that they do not think
it causes any security issues in FreeBSD.

Your response is to threaten to write an exploit against FreeBSD, and
distribute it publicly before disclosing to security at .

Are you trying to be an ass? Someone disagrees with you on the
internet, so you throw all the toys out the pram?
