But in reality it slows down the whole world, because now everyone needs to check their open source dependencies, not only Russians.

I think your examples are terrible. Everything you listed is controlled by western companies or individuals. >OpenCV Intel, a US company >Redux I don’t think this was developed in Russia at any point, current maintainers appear to be American. One of the original devs came from a Russian background but seems to live in the UK, and would be considered a traitor in Russia judging by his tweets. >Kotlin Jetbrains, a Czech company which suspended their presence in Russia because of the war. >Nginx F5, US company.

> What if Russians also will play this game with OpenCV, Redux, Kotlin, Nginx… The Russians are already attacking us. Just off the top of my head: NotPetya, Korea Olympics attack, US elections, US pipeline attack. You can't say we have to surrender in the open source front out of fear that they will respond back when they're the ones attacking the civilized world on all fronts.
