Ultimately, I'm not complaining, because buggy software is great in the context of devices that try to prevent you from doing something with your own property. I especially encourage people to write their system-level software in C and use lots of strcpy calls. It ensures that I can root my phone even though the carrier doesn't want me to.

Reminds me of claims of deliberate backdoors. Of course, these can often be used for bad things too.
