Um.

First of all, that's not what Thor said; second of all, you really
should not be telling potential gsoc students that their project ideas
are flatly worthless, even if your judgment were correct; and third,
I'm rather surprised that anyone who claims to work on security would
call testing and analysis tools worthless.

Let's try not to scare everyone off, ok?
