probably enjoy the multiple levels of admitted "obscurity features" (check
the Brad Spengler vs. OpenBSD Team threads just about anywhere, Theo's
quotes on w^x being an "obscurity feature" to thwart attacks from lesser
skilled attackers - since after all, the lesser skilled attackers are the
real threat, right?).

Do you leave your car door unlocked and the keys in it?  Because, after

skilled attackers.
