The internet didn't go down and you're mischaracterizing it as a parsing issue when the list would've exceeded memory allocation limits. They didn't hardcode a fallback config for that case. What memory safety promise did Rust fail there exactly?

I think the point is memory bugs are only one (small) subset of bugs.

The conventional wisdom is ~70% of serious security bugs are memory safety issues.

Security bugs - and not bad security processes, are a small subset of bugs.
