I think the damage is fixed now, and more importantly the SSDF deserves credit
for acknowledging the mistake and for correcting it promptly.
We all do mistakes. We fight against them, but we know we will never win
completely.
However there is a clear line between those that deny their own mistakes and
those that admit them, learn, and take the appropriate actions.
