There are far more educated eyes able to review the Linux source code

seem to be hurting anything while the educated people reviewing it are
helping a lot if all of the patches I see coming in every day are any

Well...has it ever? I've been running it on a day to day basis on my
desktop since 1994 and have never once gotten a virus. I have been
active in the community since then and I have never met anyone who got
one. So...
