The first half of that article is weird: "Hackers like UNIX, therefore
hackers might be motivated to attack MacOS X", but the second half
raises valid points (about Apple's security process).

In fact though, we've already been addressing these concerns, and the
freebsd security officer team will be working closely with the apple
security team to coordinate fixing and disclosure of vulnerabilities.
We're hoping to pass on some of our experience doing this for the last
n years to help streamline Apple's security process as they adjust to
supporting the new OS.
