The history of Deepin code reviews clearly shows that upstream is lacking security culture, and the same classes of security issues keep appearing…

Ouch.

Security is hard and not the fun part of programming (for most people anyway).

KDE and Gnome have problems too.

Rationale for Accepting kio-admin into openSUSE

We have dealt with these types of APIs in KDE since 2017 without achieving any notable improvements. As we are responsible for product security we tried to protect our users from potentially harmful components. At this point, though, we don’t believe that this situation will change anytime soon. Meanwhile users still want to use features like the one found in Dolphin, and don’t understand why openSUSE does not include them.

Oh certainly. What I was pointing out is the repeated failure and lack of acknowledgement of security issues. KDE and GNOME take it seriously, it seems Deepin does not.
