Security Experts Expect โ€˜Shellshockโ€™ Software Bug in Bash to Be Significant - NYTimes.com:

The mantra of open source was perhaps best articulated by Eric J. Raymond, one of the elders of the open-source movement, who wrote in 1997 that โ€œgiven enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.โ€ But, in this case, Steven M. Bellovin, a computer science professor at Columbia University, said, those eyeballs are more consumed with new features than quality. โ€œQuality takes work, design, review and testing and those are not nearly as much fun as coding,โ€ Mr. Bellovin said. โ€œIf the open-source community does not develop those skills, itโ€™s going to fall further behind in the quality race.โ€
