    Taking a stroll through the comments,

    So, it turns out that someone who gained great amounts of trust has put malicious code into a widespread package. Sucks hard. It’s understandable to also look at those who worked with them on the same things…

    He seems to be participating to Loongsong Chinese architecture

    Oh no. Oh no no no, the xi-god-emperor is here too! Quickly, be weird about people from China!

    Wow it’s crazy how many different core areas of Linux code is beeing changed to cope with Loongsong LoongArch.

    “cope” lmao, also wow adding a completely new architecture requires a lot of work in a lot of areas, how crazy!

    Later they were explained that their concern isn’t justified (the people mentioned have turned out to be real and working on the arch support without NDAs or stuff), including people from China taking note of this tendency:

    Yeah, China! China! When something involves a random Chinese, it always unfolds with accusation out of thin air.
