How's citigroup? In 2002 when the openssl worm was infecting everything, and our CISO officer was standing over me telling me that I don't get the patched OpenSSL in, by 5PM that day, or he was shutting down the farm, source was the only option. Our vendor had been dicking around for weeks and had still not provided us with packages. We never went back to packages, at least before I left. I trained the administrators on how to compile the stack and that was it.
At the time citigroup was #1 financial company in the world.
There are times when blanket statements like this are patently false.
