it's really weird thinking of memory vulnerabilities as something that has an end point. They've been with us since the dawn of computing, consistently. It's going to be like eliminating smallpox, or maybe a little more like polio since we're still leaving openings, but only in crucial areas where they can be watched. Still, it's going to go from omnipresent down to handfuls of cases. I have some mixed feelings about this, relating to companies being able to keep better control of devices they produce, keeping capabilities locked away from end users, but that doesn't really outweigh the massive benefits in other areas.
