Exactly, and that is only on the social element. Now what should we do |
| 20 |
if we don't know the identities of our developers and there is a remote |
| 21 |
code execution committed to our tree, obviously malicious, or someone |
| 22 |
misuse access to information[N1]. This basically builds on the argument |
