@Sassinake @nixCraft Debian is discussing it and will likely comply as well.

@Sassinake @nixCraft Seeing as if they don't they face $7500 per violation, their hands are tied at this point. People are blaming the developers when they cannot do anything about it. These walking dinosaurs need to be removed from power and replaced with people who actually understand technology and why this is a terrible idea.

Yes, this requirement is bullshit. No, pretending it doesn’t exist is not a viable response.
