There are quite a few lessons to be drawn from this. I'm more puzzled at
Netgate kicking pfsense 2.5.0 out of the door with this garbage included
and then having the audacity to yell at FreeBSD "You published
zero-day-exploits for our product!" when FreeBSD replaced the buggy code. :p

That's a real classy act.

And no: "reviewed by community" has always been a myth or is at least
way overrated. Usually nobody looks at pre-release code unless they have
to for very specific and narrow reasons.
