Carmack on Quake2 Server Backdoor

Eric Clark wrote in to tell us that Carmack has updated his .plan (finger [e-mail]) for damage control on the recent stuff about ID Software's backdoor onto Quake Servers (You can read A security advistory if you are unfamiliar with the mess). Similiar to Blizzard's recent StarCraft mess, they say it was just a debugging thing. I still haven't made a decision on this stuff, what do you guys think?
