    The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

    This actually makes common sense.

      Freeze peach doesn’t mean you can call people "removed"s. By using that word you’re 1. insulting those who express their gender as they wish 2. calling us names

      Also, my point is that there is precedent for laws to geopolitcally restrict open source. I agree that there is a real security issue.
