I say that people should go to nessus.org and look at the plugin database for themselves to see who is contributing. Just looking at the last 20 or so newest plugins has three or four non-Tenable and non-Nessus contributors.

There is also a much larger population of users who regularly submit false-positive reports, assist on the mailing list, .etc.
