It's a notion that started as an incorrect meme and turned into a truth 
when we didn't do anything to actively dispell it.

Because The0 said it was so enough times that his legions of 12 yr old 
fans started chanting it, and we didn't do anything to dispell the 
notion.   Once it became so ingrained, then even when openbsd bugs 
appear, that don't exist in Net/Free, and were fixed back in the late 
80's in other distributions; it doesn't matter because everyone is so 
blind to "the truth" that any further truths are irrelevant.
