Doesn't need to: You want into the EU market? EU demands this for the whole world. The EU can set any requirement it wants for market access. Such is the power of governments. And since someone will state that then other countries ca

It's no surprise that Apple will use every dirty trick they can find to keep their advantage. Hopefully, the EU takes a short look at Apples proposal, laughs and tells them that if they want to sell their products in the EU they will h

Servo was always intended as a way to proof certain technologies without the restrictions of a full browser engine like Gecko, so they could integrate them into Firefox/Gecko later if they panned out. They did and things got integrated

The list you've linked doesn't contain the YPG, only the PKK. While the authoritarian in Ankara and people sympathetic to his goals like to conflate both, they are not the same, which is why the US supports one and has the other o

The reason I'd say assigning a CVE is the right call is that the "easy to misuse" leads to a potential security problem here because of the way glibc handles the function that you give it. Case in point: You can make the same

I see the glibc security team fell back to a variant of the age old "oh, but it's undefined behavior, so if we burn down your computer that's okay too!" justification why they shouldn't be assigned an CVE for this.

No colonization happening. If you don't want to follow the CRA, then don't make a product that gets into the EU market. If you want in the EU market, you have to follow EUs rules.

Same experience which lead Java to change from feature-based release cycle to time-based release cycle later. Make regular releases, everything that is ready gets included, everything else can go onto the next train. Far better.
