Wish they removed the backdoors this time.

Are you taking the piss, or do you have a reliable citation for the presence of backdoors in previous versions?

There's a handful of conspiracy theorists who think SELinux is an NSA backdoor. That's my only guess.

I've found that it's best to wait for the folks making vague, outlandish claims to clarify and provide proof of those claims, rather than wasting time guessing what those claims might be. :)

Of course it is, otherwise what incentive would NSA have to develop it in the first place? :)

Also, people who laugh at every conspiracy theory could use one or two good history books about 20th century to see how much conspiracies really DID HAPPEN in the past.

That some conspiracies happened in the past doesn't imply that all future conspiracies are true.

Personally I think the governments of the world are run by giant inflatable pink pigs and the media covers it all up.

What incentive does anyone have to contribute to OSS?

I don't have any idea about an issue like this. Should I be anyway worried or it's just rumor/nonsense?

I suppose we should wait to see if rust4homoslol produces a reliable citation.

Extrodinary claims require extrodinary proof. A single line on Pastebin !== proof.
