“They inhabit the fulcrum of the process” is straight up AI psychosis talk.

Security is part of it -- dpkg and apt were not built to deal with the problem of tracking each individual executables' complied library versions. When the next Heartbleed happens,…

Hello! I am a Debian Developer, though not likely to work on this as I haven't done a ton of rust binary packaging. I did want to clear up one misconception that you might be havin…
