The SQLite team faced a similar problem last year, and Richard Hipp (the creator of SQLite) made almost the same comment:
"The malefactor behind this attack could just clone the whole SQLite source repository and search all the content on his own machine, at his leisure. But no: Being evil, the culprit feels compelled to ruin it for everyone else. This is why you don't get to keep nice things...."
I really enjoyed "Coders at Work". Joe Armstrong's interview really stuck out to me; it seemed like he just thought differently than everyone else in the book. In a way, he reminded me of Larry Wall.
