> the simple truth of the matter is that regular kernel developers continue to insert bugs at such a rate that there should be little need for malicious actors to add more.

As an "average" dev I think the conclusion is totally unfair. Comparing a non intentional bug with intentional one(aka malware). I think Principle should matter and these people they violated the rules. And they should be morally shamed and legally sued. I certainly don't want to be mixed with them. Whatever people think of the quality of my code.

I understand that's a lot of work and just from a code quality prospective that's the same. But for the community of millions open source projects that's a terrible message to send.
