I call BS on the excuse from UM.
To run tests like this, they should be run in VMs, not releases to the public.
Also, I notice the Chinese looking names (plus 1 other, I imagine is moslem)..

I always expect some mal-intent code to be put in there, but to be quickly found by another honest coder before release.

I *think* the experiment was to release these “patches” to the public to see if they would be caught. The experiment was not about the “patches” themselves.

One might wonder if this was some CCP-backed attempt to install a backdoor on Linux systems which could be later exploited in a cyber attack.
