I wish you were right. I really wish you were. I don't think you are. I'm not trying to be a contrarian but I don't think for a large number of organizations that this is the case.

The bad news is that the next incident will be something else they haven't thought about
Sysadmins are lucky it wasn't malware this time. Next time could be a lot worse than just a kernel driver with a crash bug.
3rd party companies really shouldn't have access to ship out kernel drivers to millions of computers like this.
