It looks manageable to most of us because we don't know who was targeted and what would have happened if they weren't.
We don't even know what whistleblowers were caught before they could publish their information, and we don't know what information that would have been.
Imagine if nobody ever leaked what Edward Snowden did. Imagine that something similarly important, anywhere in the world, has not been leaked because of successfully exploited vulnerabilities.

It's not, I think, because if it would, then it were game over long ago. So now, if we find a vulnerability in systemd, we'll just fix it and put it with the rest of the fire.
