I'm glad someone pointed this out, I was wondering the same thing when I was reading it.

That said, it would be nice if they decided that certain bug fixes and such could be sent back to developers, not at the expense of national security, but I can hardly see how a bug fix being pushed back out could hurt the military though.

Given how much critical American economic infrastructure runs on Linux, there is a strong military case for reporting and fixing bugs.

Without economic power, there is no military power.

It's possible that they might do that.
