Ok, that's fair, but that's not what I am saying.

I am only saying that it must be feasible to maintain an ASN.1
implementation as part of a legacy codebase. Obviously, OpenSSL
and SNMP have had difficulties with that. Are there
counter-examples of applications that have not had long-lived bugs
in their ASN.1 code?
