"It's not me, it's the killbot algorithm I designed, patented, and licensed!"
In seriousness, though, I agree and we're already way behind the eight-ball on this one, given predictive policing and bail algorithms.

I wish there was some way to modify fossil data from within the repository itself. Like, if fossil's bug list were duplicated as files in the issues/ folder, and I could edit the bugs individually as files.
Yeah, if there were some way to combine fossil and org-mode, that would be perfect. As it is, fossil by itself comes pretty darn close for me.

I guess the core questions are "How much did you enjoy Heartbleed and Shellshock?" and "How much are you willing to pay to prevent those from happening again?"
It was basically what happened to G+ and FB over the last few months, but to every website. Preventing that is probably worth pitching a few percent of your annual capital budget to infrastructure projects.
