svelte is very new, it’s supported by the foundation not by. also the foundation is not freebsd they are two separate entities. freebsd is the developers, the foundation is a bunch of canadians supporting said developers.
Micron is killing its Crucial consumer brand, not supplies to consumer brands who use its chips. Hynix never had a consumer brand for RAM I don't think?
> This means that even though Red Hat, at this stage in it's development, has a majority of contribution, the project itself can never be taken over by a single entity.
If it's one company with the majority of contributions then they can just stop contributing (or put their efforts into a proprietary fork) and all that you're left with is the code and the name. Which is maybe better than "just the code", but not by much.
There are over 600 different people contributing to OpenStack in a given six-month release cycle. Approximately 60% of total code by commit count is from Red Hat employees. I'm one of the 600 that don't work at Red Hat, and there are a lot of us.
You should get a sense of the scale of a project before summarily declaring that it has a single point of failure.
You just said majority without any numbers in the original post. I think you'll agree that the calculus would be quite different for 60% vs 85% of effort being from a single company.
And that's pretty much the thread. You're either subject to a large power's jurisdiction or subject to a jurisdiction whose sovereignty is at the pleasure of large powers... Pick a threat model, plan appropriately, and keep things in perspective.
It's been done, the ZSNES and Project64 emulators have both had exploits which allowed a malicious ROM to run arbitrary code on the host. ZSNES is written mostly in assembly so that was kinda asking for trouble though.
