.oO does anyone else suspect that the attempted removal of the glibc manual's joke on censorship and the ongoing CoC woes in the kernel linux are a single coordinated attack against the core (augmented kernel? :-) of the software freedom communities?

even if it is not a single coordinated attack, we evidently need to learn how to do better when facing such attacks.  even if these are not intentional (a big if), it's a weakness/vulnerability that, sooner or later, could be exploited.  let's patch now!

I haven't heard of this other issue.


Do you have a link? =)

I meant the Glibc manual joke thing. The Linux CoC thing is fairly famous.


Thanks!
