> these are the kind of vulnerabilities that the NSA would salivate over

No need to salivate over something that you paid for and that you already used for 8 years.

Post-Snowden if you believe the NSA has already broken into most things and has very often paid to facilitate this (like loss-making Skype US server routing, or inefficiently using valuable silicon space for IME), you are no longer a conspiracy theory lunatic - you are just a mere sane person applying Occam's razor.
