How do they propose to cope with the security non-updates in core AND especially in 3rd party packages?

I am copy-pasting from a random link https://infosecwriteups.com/python-2-vulnerabilities-c3a3779f6fc:

p = "aa"
temp = input("enter pass: ")
if temp == p:
    print("ahahah")
else:
    print("ssss")

enter pass: p  <<< this is the name of the variable holding the passwo
+rd!
ahahah
oO( lolling lolling lolling lol )

Edit: the above is a world-first and the record is held by Python: the name of the variable holding the password must be at least as complex as the password itself. Unfortunately with a restricted charset this goes like : a_variable_you_123_will_n3v3r_b3_able_to_guez = "a strong password!". (Also added a comment in code above)

OT: I have written an MIS for a factory in Perl. I have found that the system sending emails to users a useful feature. Then their (outsourced) IT told me that each company mail account has a monthly cost. Because ... they outsource all the factory email services to ... M$, some 365 %*%$^$&*. I can't understand that, unless M$ also signed them up for free insurance for virus and hacking damages. But that would bankrupt them. So, it's an infection which causes them to stare when you tell them what about confidentiality? Why not setup an email server and actually do some real IT rather than acting as a reseller of IT services? Stare. Stare. Stare.
