To your point, I would think you want that regardless. I certainly
don't mean to pile on the kernel.org guys, but it was compromised and
likely through a user account. I'm confident that this is a very rare
occurrence, but it can happen again. There was another somewhat high
profile hack earlier in the year against vendor-sec as well.
Maybe asking for some extra warm fuzzies from now on wouldn't be a
horrible idea as general practice.
I will now await a reply full of the cold pricklies.
