For what its worth, there were a lot of conversations this week around package security and compensation for open source projects among tech decision makers. Ultimately it wouldn't have happened if he had a generous sponsor and in that way I consider the act somewhat selfish. That said, I it both reaffirms that there is a vibrant community of individuals who are willing to volunteer their time for the benefit of the software ecosystem regardless of compensation, as well as a growing number of corporations who are understanding that open source projects deserve their patronage. Despite breaking some builds, it didn't break the internet but made for some good controversy. If nothing else, I think that makes this good art.
