ISC isn't a monolithic development shop and there's not all that much
crossover between developers of different ISC projects --- particularly
since they were historically unrelated. You can't use the (in)security
of one to judge that of another.

e.g. INN *is* trustworthy and near-as-dammit secure (and getting more
so) and works OK and is highly unlikely ever to stop working, given that
(as with A News of old) it's co-maintained by the people who've replaced
tale in management of the Big 8. :)
