are you saying that:

1. ´this crap´ is something that RedHat devs work on regardless of it
being ´crap´
2. that redhat devs working on Icedtea are incompetent,
3. that there is some fundamental flaw in the way icedtea-web is
designed and makes it experience more holes that other pieces of
software (ie Microsoft´s own IE that had a 0day exploit open for
weeks)
4. that you are unable to distinguish real news reports from FUD
against the Java platform.
5. all of the above.

Please clarify.
