Good point.
I'd likely have put that in the confidence category.  The conflict of interest is a bit tragic.  
I am hopeful that it would get resolved sooner rather than later.
It is sort of a weird one.  Its like some operating system team members are leaving to go work on "InstallShield" (remember that?).

Historically, in security software development, the installer is the principle place to introduce vulnerabilities.  Owning the installer is a privileged position as it is the engine of feature distribution, and the closest persistent connection to "the customer".  So I am kind of glad that it is these guys doing it.  But they shouldn't be doing both.

I'm not an insider there and don't know the technology perimeter of their company.
I just really wish that there were more folks doing what they do so that we didn't have to suffer through these sort of conflicts.
