OpenSSL Cleanup: Hundreds of Commits In a Week

New submitter CrAlt (3208) writes with this news snipped from BSD news stalwart undeadly.org: "After the news of heartbleed broke early last week, the OpenBSD team dove in and started axing it up into shape. Leading this effort are Ted Unangst (tedu@) and Miod Vallat (miod@), who are head-to-head on a pure commit count basis with both having around 50 commits in this part of the tree in the week since Ted's first commit in this area. They are followed closely by Joel Sing (jsing@) who is systematically going through every nook and cranny and applying some basic KNF. Next in line are Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) and Bob Beck (beck@) who've been both doing a lot of cleanup, ripping out weird layers of abstraction for standard system or library calls. ... All combined, there've been over 250 commits cleaning up OpenSSL. In one week.'" You can check out the stats, in progress.

man the truth stings, doesn't it?

Modded flame bait, with 0 argument against, in fact several replies in support of.

Totally validates the sig eh?

Look open source noobs, get over it. Understanding reality is half the battle towards accomplishing something.

Feel free to mod this as flamebait - it was totally intended as such, and modding so will give me great satisfaction.
