Do we count the time that OpenSSH got trojaned?

You know. The time that someone thought it would be gnarly to hack OpenBSD's FTP server and trojan the makescripts?
The folks at OpenBSD still haven't explained how that's happened so we've got six theoretical bugs (which will undoubtedly become reality Real Soon Now) versus an unexplained, but very real, hack, which may or may not manifest itself elsewhere. And as long as we're calling apples and oranges, take a look at the size of the codebase and the amount of functionality of one versus the other.
