Going ahead, the only OS war I’m afraid of is:

- A GDPR-style mandate to make cloud apps secure by certifying all libraries and upstream authors that run your stack, down to the OS,

- Thus cloud providers providing “Debian, only for amateur purposes, PII forbidden”,

- And “Amazon Linux, certified GDPR III, all upstream identified.”

That would be the end of free software. But at the same time, it would be the only reasonable move from EU, it drives me crazy that websites all use random NPM modules, half of them written by Russians we’re at war with.
