I dearly hope that we do not see such. I don't want to see such
a program come out merely to show that we need to block the
hole. Anyone considering writing such, please, do not release
it. Releasing such a thing would be equivalent to blowing up an
abortion clinic and killing 400 innocent people just to protest
for "right to live".
I think this whole IDE discussion is really over now. Everyone
has decided for themselves what they think should be done. Also,
we know what is/isn't going to be done officially.
Lets just all let it go now, and move on. Anything that does end
up occuring can be dealt with as it happens...
Take care,
