That is your point of view. I see that as contradiction in some sens.

True; or even not even installed.

I do agree with youe that we should not spread FUD. But I see just
little in this thread.
Is having a other meaning than others equivalent to FUD?

Don't think so. I gave a concrete tip to the OP.

Oh, there was some absolute concrete claims in that discussion. (Not
only from my side.)

I didn't see any insult in this particular thread.

Oh, sorry, I am once burnt. The disaster with changing openssh security
checks just for the convenience of a hand full users and where the
involved DDs are unconvincable even from the openssh people them self is
just tickling in my bones. And that was not the only claim I see and
was involved in the past.

For zeroconf; make it optional as the OP suggested. For the openssh
disaster, listen to the openssh people they might have more knowledge
about security. ...
There is concrete solutions given. But if nobody want to listen to
them...

For my person, I think I am.

I do not see how I did. However, if someone starts to insult, I might
react also rough. I'm sorry for that.

Not less than necessary.

Sorry, english is not my mother tongue. But I try my very best.
However, if the other party do even not listen to native english
speaker who have concrete arguments...
I might be wrong in some cases. But in the security part I do not see an
alternative to be a bit to paranoid. And if I am not the only one, that
shows me that I am not completely wrong.
