Comment on XZ: Repo maintainer Lasse Collin responding on LKMLparent

Comments

Yes, exactly, these high security packages that every distro uses must be very tightly maintained and looked over with the least dependencies. SSH is one of the most important packages in security and it just feels clumsy that they are using such packages like XZ. Just WHY? Who made that decision? Why doesn’t all the distros work together maybe to maintain the security? Why depend on one person that does this as a hobby?
