@colindean I hear this. I feel it in my bones.
@mattblaze it's not, though?
Since the #xz incident started, I've been maintaining an FAQ/living document on what we know at https://gist.github.com/thesamesam/223949d5a074ebc3dce9ee78baad9e27.
I think most people in my extended circle either already seen it but posting about it given there's likely to be a lot more questions as we go into the working week.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed tips, suggestions, and edits. Thanks especially to @cadey who has helped a lot with editing.
This is the best timeline I've seen so far on what we know about the Xz backdoor. Some good info here for researchers: https://boehs.org/node/everything-i-know-about-the-xz-backdoor

@mark Man, I wish this were possible.
@fsf Is it in March or May? The page says "sometime in March" but the registration pages say May 4-5.
@mattblaze @wendynather "one drop at a time" is also the answer to that age old question, "How do you titrate an elephant?"
@colindean You're weird? Then you fit right in with us!
@jredlund @sfwrtr @stevendbrewer @taur10 @alan This is a thing Apple is most qualified to solve.
I won't hold my breath, though.
