wow, so how many vulnerabilities have you found with your test systems? Just a 
question. And how do they help mitigate the problem? Really? Having lots of 
test systems help you in which way if there is a root exploit in some lib that 
was wisely statically linked into half of your installed apps? Please explain. 
Without bullshit this time. Thank you very much.

At least the 'no security hole in the default install' bullshit is gone. Easy 
to have a 'secure' default installation if it only contains ed, tar, cp, cat 
and a shell.
