Yes, but only if we're using a lang that doesn't have multiple compiler implementations, which is not the case for traditional system langs.

if the (political) behavior of individual developers or even groups of them influences your trust in the product, then you're approaching this the wrong way; either because you don't have the skills, or because you don't want to spend time.

This is well put. If a zero-day was hidden in a compiler which happens to be maintained by Satoshi himself, we are still fucked.
