It's obvious that this is something that you are very worried about, but
I think that you need to take a deep breath and relax a little. I have
not seen a cavalier attitude towards this issue.
What I see instead are developers who have made an initial assessment
and disclosure, have taken some actions to mitigate the severity of the
issue, and are carefully continuing their investigations (over a major
holiday in large parts of the world) so that they can issue sane
responses to actual threats, and not a knee-jerk response like 'Gentoo
should re-encode all xzs in other formats' which, as was discussed
above, adds significant complexity for no real benefit.
I've seen from your previous emails to the list that you know what
paragraphs are and how to use them to break up your content into
digestible chunks. Please continue using them - it makes it
significantly easier to respond to your ideas and gives off an aura of
professionalism that you will need if you want your concerns to be taken
seriously and addressed directly.
Cheers,
Matt
