The problem with Robert Simmons' line of reasoning:
a) keeping vulxml up to date is a fixable problem, and
b) ignoring the critical role of FreeBSD's security teams will only
result in FreeBSD boxes being hacked and end-users migrating to
Linux.
Considering the lack of technical or logical arguments being made
against, for example, larger security teams or security team funding
(after all, we're only talking about timely entries in the vulnerability
database) it would not be unreasonable to conclude that opposition
viewpoints are simply Linux advocates.
