Hi!
Let me demonstrate the proactive security practices of the OpenBSD team at it's finest. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=106523413529618&w=2 Must I spell it out for you? Proactively secure!
Since you claim that OpenBSD is insecure beyond believe, then you should be glad that this patch didn't make it (yet). It means one backdoor less, right? Anyways, I don't see why you are so upset about it. Apparently you have never been part of a development team in a larger software project. This kind of stuff is quite normal in such projects. Developers tend to try to cut corners. The price of cutting corners is often payed later. So yes, making the developer follow the process is being proactive.
Scriptkids are individuals who involve themselves in the facade of computer security, who don't have any technical background or skills in the area. People who buy into the hype of the buzzword-of-the-day security tools fall into this category. People who develop these tools and believe their merit are also scriptkids.
There is a saying: It takes one to know one. BTW, noone cares about your personal problems with Theo.
