In my professional life, I work for my company's Linux OS and Kernel team. I contribute to the Linux kernel from time to time (1 driver from scratch, multiple bug fixes, almost all my enhancements have been rejected). I gained the impression that my code has been thoroughly reviewed. I don't live in the LKML but around the time I submit a patch I read the LKML and I believe the review process is thorough.
I hope my account will not get revoked for saying this aloud, but that's why my internet facing computer - my router - runs Debian.
My desktop runs BSD because BSDs keep the UNIX spirit alive.
The main reason I don't want to run BSD on internet facing computers is that I don't know the review process and code quality of the BSDs. What the article describes is devastating.
