Well, the static analysis reports aren't totally useless, but we need some way of marking them as false positive or wontfix, so the effort isn't duplicated. Out of the 10.000 reports, a conservative guess is that at least 100 of them are real security issues. And they are public, so Mallory can just pick one now and write an exploit. A year ago, I did a raid on reports about not checking the return value of setuid() and friends, which did uncover real issues.
