It's a big deal because disassembly <> source code.  Source code is _much_ more 
informative.  It's like having a copy of a book in English and in a foreign
language (which you don't speak).  The same information is there, but it's much
easier to understand in one version than the other.

Again, the people who stole this are weenies.
