*puts on dweeb glasses* well the xz exploit didnt actually effect stable distros like debian stable, ubuntu, anything not rolling bc it was those versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 that were infected with a backdoor. Debian is still on 5.4.1-0.2...meaning, it is wrong to call it a debian hack! It is more like an arch/rolling distro hack. And its already patched, so...
the whole xz fiasco is a good reason why people developing open source stuff should be more careful about what goes into each distro, and why I won't use a rolling distro for a longgg time
