[wp-hackers] WordPress plugin inspections

[Harry Metcalfe]

Disappointingly, we'll perhaps have to agree to disagree.

I think the site is a positive contribution to WordPress's security. 
Hopefully, in time, we'll earn some trust. I'm not expecting that to be 
instant. I don't think we're condemning anybody: we're pointing out 
issues which are widely accepted to be indicative of problematic code.

In the mean time, people are - of course - free to vote with their feet 
and not visit the site. Or set up a better one.
