No, fuck off. Not until you fix like your lame and unsafe string routines, screwy pthreads, and provide _r versions of you static buffer non thread safe strtok(), gmtime(), and asctime(), get more consistent error handling, add ASLR, stack canaries, and control flow integrity.

everybody loves gnu/linux till they manually compile a too-new version of glibc and replace their system version with it and then reboot to find that the 'boot' part of 'reboot' is no longer possible

“New Glibc Flaw Grants Attackers Root Access on Major Linux Distros” It is 7am on a Monday and this is my pre-emotive ‘what a week, eh?’

the syslog() function in glibc has a buffer overflow that lets attackers get root. it's had it SINCE FUCKING 1993. FOR MY ENTIRE TIME ON THIS PLANET. When will enough be fucking enough and we ban the writing of new programs in C from an industry standards level?
