Don't laugh - it's all true - those are (afaik) the actual reasons.

Paranoia rules.

Thats what I wanted to tell them, but my fingers where to lazy.

You can agree to our reasons or not, that's totally up to you.
but those reasons are valid and we won't change our descission.

That has nothing to do with paranoia...

If I want to hack a board I can also easily add a malicious code into a hack and then run it when someone installs...

The answer is no and we've given our reasons as Xenon said. I don't think there's a point to this remaining open besides for the same old complaining and whinging.
