@whitequark That's a great point. I've delegated my trust of thousands of packages to debian because it's much easier than making the thousands of trust decisions myself, which would obviously be impossible.
Which OS are you yourself using today to best incorporate the issues in "reflections on trusting trust"? Previously the smaller package numbers in bsd have discouraged me but that seems to be a winning feature now. As soon as I get to a bsd desktop I'll try out chipass!

@bbuk still Debian, but only because like all of my spare cycles are spent on helping other people escape this fresh hell (not just via ChiPass, but also git-pages and FelineBuildServices)

@whitequark When the UK started their "government digital services" approach to move away from being beholden to the likes of fujitsu and hp they chose github. I was disappointed and told them they were doing the same thing but they didn't see it at the time. They remained at the mercy of the whims of the US feds/corps and will presumably get ICC'ed in due course.
