That was just a reminder for a topic that has already been discussed
on this list. My main intention was to provide an example (in the form
of a post similar to yours) for Jonathan Wilkes' remark wrt. affected
reputation.

I am sure there are after-the-fact excuses. Since you didn't provide a
reference, I assume that this specific excuse if not something worthy
of attention. Veracode's report is here, if you are interested:
https://blog.crypto.cat/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Cryptocat_Attestation_Veracode_20130222_final.pdf

Looking at the code is indeed not mentioned in the report, so it's all
fine, I guess — just make sure something like that is in the next
contract.
