What exact breach is he talking about? Sadly, the video is still not 
uploaded :-/.

Since tivoization is mentioned in the original mail: There's also an 
interesting standpoint from Linus Torvalds about this over here: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU from DebConf 14. So, if 
people want to look into different opinions, that is probably also an 
interesting video to watch.
