In other words, with proprietary sw, at least SOMEBODY evaluated it and placed their seal/name on it. With open source, you are relying on a hope that somebody out there somewhere does it. And in various cases, we've seen how that turned out.

Given things like the Debian OpenSSL fiasco and Heartbleed, can we honestly put as much faith into open source crypto as it's well-funded proprietary counterparts?
I honestly prefer open source and recognize the problem the author points out as clearly significant problem - as well as the benefits of LibreSSL, but I'm just not convinced there are enough eyeballs looking at open source crypto.
