It boggles the mind that someone thinks security decisions like these are made casually. Staying sane as an open source maintainer means ignoring such thankles

It boggles the mind that someone thinks security decisions like these are made casually.
Staying sane as an open source maintainer means ignoring such thanklessness as best you can.
- zmmmmm 5y agoPerhaps "casual" is the wrong word since it does have a pejorative implication. Put more neutrally, what I find fascinating is the asymmetry b/w the weight of process applied compared to impact. I am sure the individuals concerned thought very hard about it (I could not find the discussion on the mailing list, but from what I can see it may have been kept off the public list due to the security aspect).
