So what are we supposed to do?
Not sanction Russia?
Apply sanctions on an individual basis?
EDIT: Nothing of value down below, just me and someone who only wants to be outraged. Delve deeper of your own accord.
It's besides the point because with the Linux kernel should be run under a principle akin to net-neutrality where we do not let geopolitics affect it (do you really want Trump's America to have legal power over it?)
The solution here is simple, just do not kick the maintainers unless they have confirmed ties to the Russian state. It's not always practical to make sanctions precisely targeted, but in this case it actually is easily so.
Let us all love Lain 😁
Other than that, can we still trust .ru and .su domains?
Nobody could ever trust .su domains, it's always been a hive of scum and villainy. No joke, it's been notorious for scamming and various cyber crime, which is a shame since it's a great novelty domain.
Many know it from piracy 🤭
The worst cyber crime of them all, denying multi-national megacorps of the potential but unlikely revenue of several dollars! 👮
