First, security and design flaws can be very different things. I don't think there is a statement that there are fundemental design flaws in Linux, there are security flaws in the coding of Linux. These need to be addressed in a manner which is centralized and accessible to the people who find these flaws. Right now security flaws get no more attention than the next neat new feature. This doesn't mean security flaws aren't addressed quickly, just that they go to the same place. This is the issue.
