I really hope that they make common JITs Windows x64 SEH compliant.

What would they gain from that?

now there's a punchline if I've ever seen one. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish in 3... 2... 1...

perhaps a downvoter can explain why Microsoft needed to fork, rather than get patches accepted upstream? Why didn't they take the Kerberos path like they did back in 2001 and just Embrace and Extend LibreSSL?

Yeah, remember how they bought Skype and reengineered its network to make it more monitorable? I think you have their intentions confused.
