I agree, but I have a hard arguing with those that asser that the security of UNIX is weak enough that given what we are doing for the patch it will be easier to become root from a logged in account than to hack the seed.

Why would you have to argue with them? When they say that's it's easier to become root from a logged in account tell them, "Good, that's just as it should be!" It's a feature, not a problem!
