Netscape *claims* to have 68,000,000 users, who are, on average, probably
less attuned to security problems than your average Apache user (at
least until they hear on CNN about the latest big Netscape security
hole).  This makes holes in Netscape a little harder to plug than ones
in Apache.

My point was not that this will be a problem long term, but that in the
short term the release of source code has the potential to expose
significant problems.

It will be interesting to see what happens.
