Until disclosed it's just speculation and conjecture. If vendors are
cooperating with NSA, there is no incentive to fix, there is incentive to
claim fix or non-existence of such features.
I welcome the short-term havok and damage of such disclose if it would be
anywhere near the magnitude implied, it would create pressure to change
things.
