Yes, I've been reading /. :)
But this isn't the first time this has occured to me.

With all the security vulnerbilties, would it be unreasonable to either
change the default MTA from sendmail to Exim/Qmail/Postfix, or give
people the option of installing something instead of Sendmail at install
time?
