I take your point (that it's possible to patch binaries) but I'm still very sceptical about the problems of this unnamed photo-sharing site. Seems a bit suspicious that the author knows about it but nobody here can guess who it is.
I've just re-read the original article and had to laugh at this:
'...a good source code control system would have avoided this problem... If only they had thought to buy one.'
Saving the source code to a floppy disk or printing it out and putting it in a safe place would have avoided this problem, not to mention using CVS, Subversion, or one of the other free version control systems.
