Personally, I would also have liked it more if it had been a serious
technical article, rather than a journalistic-like unaccurate quick
luser report -- there are various annoying errors/omissions/oddities,
and the short claim that it "opens a security hole", w/o any comment nor
context given, is quite a killing statement IMO.

But since journalists will always be just journalists, I agree it's
still very good to see VNC citated like this.
