Valid points, my intention was to share my thoughts on certification and 
audit processes in general, and I guess in the process derail the thread 
a bit.

Back to pfSense,  arguably the point you raise is even stronger than the 
"bad coding practices" one. I might even say I personally don't care 
much about coding practices as I care about support services being 
prompt and effective. The latter
*may* actually lead to good coding practices, but not the other way around.
