 Again, I think you're confusing security with a lazy programming

I'm not talking about exposing information about the source code, which
is good, but disclosing information about the key material, which is
not nearly as desirable. Please keep that in mind when you re-read my
prior mails as you don't seem to have understood it.


Who said the key needs to be exposed to the client's debug log or even the server's? Are you trying to say that fixing this real example of lazy programming, https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388, is somehow going to expose the key?
