A backdoor in xz

> It's one of the reasons why I'm somewhat sympathetic to the folks who would prefer to rewrite the world. It looks like speeding up and writing more code, the opposite of what you're correctly advocating, but the advantage of a clean slate is that it's a lot easier to add standards for slower work and higher quality when starting from scratch than it is to retrofit them to an existing community, or even an orphaned code base

To be clear: if "rewriting the world" works better and faster than raising the bar on an existing and time consuming code base then I'm all for it.

Either is much slower than merging untested and barely reviewed commits.
