I mean, this doesn't really change anything from a practical perspective. It just highlights that the verbage in the press release was alarmist.
It's still a security concern that most users will be unaware of.

Potato, potato....
Whether we call them 'undocumented commands' or a 'backdoor', the affect is more or less the same; a series of high-level commands not listed within the specs, preventing systems engineers/designers from planning around vulnerabilities and their potential for malicious use.
The dude that wrote this blog is a goof....
defines backdoor as “relating to something that is done secretly
effectively constitute a “private API”, and a company’s choice to not publicly document their private API
Idiot thinks these are two different things....
Are they are trying to argue that malicious intent is needed to define it as a back door?
Moron..
You’re very smart. I didn’t realize that until you called someone a goof, idiot and moron, but now it’s very clear that you have far superior intelligence.
