Yeah, and ultimately no body cares. Everyone assumes it’s just some process miss, and we need to add another step to the process and move on. Fuck ups that would have killed the credibility of projects 10 years ago are now treated as “eeh what are you gonna do. Sometimes you ship malware. Will look into it”

I assume you're using hyperbole.

Some of us are very aware and concerned about the risk. But like Cassandra from Greek mythology, we see the coming disaster and feel powerless to stop it.

It's not that nobody cares. It's just that nobody who does care has the money or the power to change it.

Business school. Ahaha.

Are you talking about open source or commercial products? I can't speak for the pytorch lighting case, but I wouldn't be surprised if the maintainers didn't get any $ from it. They would be sad if the credibility of the package suffers, but ultimately it wouldn't make a big difference to them
