my concern is not for things that he _can_ publish, it's for things
that he can't.  i cannot predict what those might be, however the fact
that the possibility exists is cause for concern.

also: although he can put *in* a fix, he cannot tell us *why* it was
fixed, and the concern then becomes, when we have a customer who wants
to do an Audit, asks "why was this done this way?" and we have to
answer:

    we do not know and you will have to sign an NDA with TSMC in order
to find out
