As modern development focuses more and more on security, while users are less and less technically informed about security in general, most of what non-technically adept users read on the Web is a vast tangled ego fertilized vine garden of fallacy. So much of security improvements these days seem to focus on issues of no common utility/importance/necessity whatsoever to Mom/Pop/Family home computer users. Keep It Simple Stupid is evolving more and more toward Keep It Secret Stupid for the everyday home computer user. The frenetic pace of development these days, and the huge amount of fallacious opinion that is generated by it, casts such a veil of obscurity over the Linux development world that ordinary users cannot even selectively support specific development endeavors because they cannot grasp what it is is that they need/want/trust for their own daily computer use. The link below leads to one of the better assessments of some of the common fallacies discussed concerning network transparency and X.
