📌 Formal Comments from the Department of Homeland Security Chief Information Officer · Issue #222 · WhiteHouse/source-code-policy
“When managed appropriately, releasing code as OSS and engaging with the community can have extensive cybersecurity benefits. Security through obscurity is not true security: we cannot depend on vulnerabilities not being exploited just because they have not been discovered yet. There are many examples of widely-used pieces of software that benefit greatly from constant and vigorous community reviews and contributions to find bugs, and thus making them more secure. We look forward to government systems joining them.” #

📌 rjbs's rubric: the perl 5.16.0 epigraph
“the correct response to abuse is not more abuse. The correct response to abuse is patience, correction, explanation, and an outpouring of civilly-worded disapproval. These are expressions of love, whereby we try to improve our attacker so that we won’t need to attack each other any more.” #

📌 What happened to Hot Standby?
It’s decisions like this that make me confident and happy about my choice of PostgreSQL. I can barely wait for hot standby to land, but features are worthless if they’re not stable. Maintainers willing to make tough cuts like this one are what makes quality software. #
