A secure system is one which is implemented to EXACTLY fit its specification, nothing more, nothing less.
Then we are back to "all bugs are security bugs and there is no point in trying to make any distinction". Linus is obviously not interested in trying to make the distinction, you are (although your argumentation seems broken). Linus manages the Linux kernel, you don't. You can keep arguing but I doubt it will make much change regardeless of who is right (not that I fully agree on how Linus is handling (security) bugs or people). Can we go back to discuss interesting technical stuff now please? I like this paper http://vanish.cs.washington.edu/research.html and I think it hasn't been posted here yet. It isn't really breakthrough research or anything (despite what you could expect from the title) but it's an interesting combination of existing technologies although the application field seems rather limited and not really corporate or government-friendly.
