As a proponent of c, and a cups user, this is bad. This whole incident deserves to be analyzed and reflected upon.

On the flip side, cups works great, and provides comprehensive printing functionality. I don't think it's appropriate to shit all over the project because of this incident. Reset, take emotion out of it, and focus on solving the problem which might be as simple as a stderr warning when enabling browsed.
