That's exactly what I mean. While they still *can* view the code (subject 
to obtaining a full copy including extras added by whoever embedded it!) 
users of embedded Linux are very unlikely to actually be doing so.

As a result the number of eyes on Linux source from the embedded sector is 
likely to be rather low in comparison to, for example, users of Linux on 
i386 desktop/laptop systems.

That doesn't say anything about the effectiveness of those eyes however as 
I would hope that the eyes trained on it from the embedded sector will be 
fairly capable.
