The NSA's Linux security project was so good it almost made up for that whole Echelon thing. Then politics entered the picture.

Well, saying that being incompatible with widely used stuff doesn't increase security is wrong. Someone has to be the first adopter of any new technology, and even if something new doesn't get adopted, it tends to raise the bar for all the competitors out there which generally is a good thing, no? If the gap between commodity crap and state-of-the-art stuff becomes too wide, the commodity crap will get dropped in the long run, hopefully ;)
