DJB software is from a code maintenance point nigh-impossible to

Why? He rarely releases updates. Licensing and patch acceptance are a
different issue.


Have you ever even _read_ DJB's code? 
Okay, _I_ did. Did _you_?

It's close to impossible to understand/maintain.
I feel this is strongly exaggerated. In fact, I'd like to see more of 
the "effort spent on design not hacking", just as is the case with the 
DJB's code.

Let us recall that all knowledge is subject to subjectivism and leave it 
at that, as this is beginning to be highly irrelevant to the topic here, 
right? :)
