Not exactly - it was in the source tarbal available for download from the releases page but not the git source tree.

I don’t have a source but I think it is safe to say given the large corporations and government institutions that rely on XZ utils. I’m sure Microsoft, Amazon, redhat ect are in talks with the federal government about this

I had this issue and it went away on newer 6.7 releases

No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

You can’t really use it with redhat. You can swap the kernel and install the user space tools, but then you won’t get support from redhat.

“profiting off their work” this is the equivalent to banning wine.

Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse

Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect

On the books, that is the case in the US too but it is almost never enforced

Contactor staffing companies exist solely to get around employment regulations. Demonic industry

Because all changes are transactional so you can easily revert to a previous system state if you break anything

Atomic desktops make all of that way easier though

I think that’s a Samsung feature
