I don't think it really is that provocative -- clearly if you have no relationship with an open source project then they don't owe you anything, and you can't rely on them. So if your project is mission critical, then you either need to start up that relationship or apply internal engineering effort to vetting their code.
Of course I'm sure the second person to touch a computer did something irresponsible with it, so what can you do, right?

Is this the point? if a company really absolutely rely on an open source/ free softwarem, they have obvious benefits to help develop it.
But seriously, I 100% agree! No one is paying for these icons. Mistakes happen. The world is not ending if they do not get corrected immediately. We all have a ton of things we are working on and cannot always make our FLOSS side-projects our top priority.
(Though, I will readily admit that this raises some provocative questions about how much "mission critical" projects should rely on open source projects which they have no contract/SLA/affiliation with...)
