I mean I guess they probably do review the code itself but what's the point if they don't build off the code they're reviewing and instead use a tarball someone else built

Change my mind.

But of course that's the main point in my message, right?

Also, I lived through the whole SCO thing and I KNOW how the term came to be something.
So, if you'd rather have me not using FUD outside of a very specific context, ok! But I've been reading about this xz thing because my work needs me to, and I find it unnecessary to have a board saying UPDATE NOW when most distros are not using the backdoored library other than rolling releases.
