"The authors" now claim that it's turd and removed it from their development tree, and have requested upstream to follow though with its removal in 5.2.
So CERN developed turd for seven years before deciding that it's turd?

But this is really not a CERN problem, it is just that a lot of physics is done at CERN. It is a modern physics problem partially due to bad training of physicists and also a bad mindset of many physicists ("I do not need to learn how to actually program! I am doing science and as long as it compiles it is fine! Stop wasting time debugging stuff or writing actually nice code")
Every project I have worked in so far had this problem. Luckily, people start to fight it but getting funding for full time programmers instead of physicists is also hard.

I woudlnt say they are wasting money. Every test they do we learn something new we didnt know before. They are doing good work. And as with NASA they get maybe 1% of public money which yes is a lot but still less then most people expect they are getting and they were able to prove Higgs Boson exsistence. But thats not the point. They are still only people and they can make mistakes too.
