Is everyone assuming that if the NSA posts its modifications of the kernel to the internet that those who analyze the modifications and find security holes would report them back to the NSA and the Linux community? Would the Chinese? The Bosnians? France? England? The FBI? Doubtful, at best.
But the people who maintain the kernel probably would report them to the world, NSA included, and include them in the next version. I have far more confidence in the Linux community than in the Chinese and Bosnians (no offence intended to those Chinese and Bosnians and even Albanians and Talibanianswho are contributing to the kernel).
