The reason for that being that all the points I have put are fully valid.

The rest depends upon the persons inference.

• Having a separate coder and a packager means there is a good chance that another person (the packager) is looking at the code.
  • And this other person is also most probably a separate entity, so if the coder is malicious, someone will know.
• Then comes the point of the distro community being more open and fragmented, as compared to a corporation, that can keeps their members' mouths shut using contracts and all

• For the same thing, the pro corpo guys will say that they have a single entity to go to for any problems. And since they have a contract (which maybe a b2b client-provider contract), their interests match.
  • As opposed to some random chap on the internet, developing some Open Source thing as a hobby, purely for their own fun/ego/satisfaction.
