Software is a much larger area than the languages used to write it.

The problem with the Russian contributions to Linux is that there's been 
a least one back door slipped into Linux by a contributor, and nobody 
wants any more to get in.

The guy who found that back door did a very neat job - he'd found an odd 
feature in some performance he'd measured, and tracked down what was 
causing it.
