the profit and time crunch was in reference to
Valdis.Kletnieks who said the following words
(probably out of context please read the thread for
full value)

"...and the build broke on OTHER systems
because there wasn't a vsnprintf() in the vendor libc
- and your boss is
telling you TO GET THE THING TO BUILD, NOW....

The programmer who is willing to swear on a Bible that
they have *never* in
their professional careers done something like this
because they were in a
time crunch is either a newbie or a complete liar."

The word "boss" give me the illusion of some profit
being made.  Once again I could just be paranoid.  

Apparently the idea of people patching open source
products just shows how much of a newbs we are.
