As far as I can tell, they come down to two: - webmin; which was saved after a masking and ended up not going anywhere, as most of the bugs (most security-related due to the nature of webmin!) were still around months after the unmask; - ${forgothename} which Robbins claimed he fixed in five minutes and our QA was bad — where his fix was exchanging a build-time failure with a runtime abort, and thus was kicked just as fine; You could possibly add the damn squeezebox software that even Logitech discontinued, but for that I'd just refer to the previous flame which for my side boiled down "if you want to keep it around, mask the fucker because it's crap". -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flameeyes@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
