So?

Sure some programmer might have planted he's own backdoors to some
Linux distribution by "making it appear like a programming error and hope
that nobody will discover it". But you seem to forget again that if NSA didnt
want Windows to be exported from the USA, it would NOT be exported. The
Linux community doesnt give a damm what NSA sayes or allowes or
disallows. They just dont give a *** and make programs they want, not
programs NSA wants and they give them out to anyone, not to just those
who NSA allows to use such software.

What evidence could there possible be about backdoors if they are masked
as "programming errors"? What evidence can we ever have that someone
who took advantage of such bug and wiped he's traces in corporation X
servers, was not NSA but just some kid on the block who decided to have
fun?

They did it and NSA, CIA and FBI couldnt findout about it / breach their
security.
