The xz issue highlights once again that we can't just hope that private sector corporations invest in the #opensource that makes their business (and profits) possible.
Perhaps we need public sector investment in carefully selected open source - and by that I don't mean the big fancy stuff, but the tiny tools that most people don't even know is there - like xz.
After all - how much of the world around us would collapse if all open source vanished at midnight?
