Until things around change and what was previously "a secure backdoor" becomes a "less secure backdoor". ;-)

One can read every second week about cases where some backdoor that was meant to be used "only for debugging" landed in the end product and became a security problem.

Actually I usually suspect malice when something like that is found once again, as "who the hell could be so stupid to deliver a product with a glaring backdoor". But maybe there is something to Hanlon's razor… :-D
