Interesting indeed.  You can even download the patches.

I'm not sure that it's vastly more illuminating that the SGI "B1" code
release; that one represented design comments on what sorts of things
you need to do to make something B1-compliant, while it is less clear
that the NSA code is describing correspondence to any normative
standard.

But it is _most_ interesting to see the NSA web site show more and
more public information about what they do.  It was not so long ago
that I heard bits of things about what they did in hushed breaths as
there was "No Such Agency"...
