The xz debacle manifested in a different way
- jacobgkau 2y agoI thought you were just going to point out that maybe the net result was positive, lol. I'd take OSM being useful in 90% more places in exchange for some fake beaches. Really, though, the quote you took was from the last paragraph of the article and was referring to players who didn't abuse their power, not people who built up a reputation just to plant something later. So it's not really an xz incident equivalent.
