"Security is not an absolute. Just as the terrorists win if it can induce the White House to shred the constitution and force us all to live in a constant state of fear, it is also pointless to induce people to install software that horrifically slows down their server so badly that you can't get anything done."

— Theodore Ts'o, in an August 8th, 2008 message on the Linux Kernel mailing list.

Wow...

I predict this post will result in a very thoughtful, open-minded and enriching conversation from all parties.

I predict Theodore will win.
