Description:
I'm on a holiday and only happened to look at my emails and it
	seems to be a major mess.  Lasse Collin The reality that we are 
struggling with is that the free software
	infrastructure on which much of computing runs is massively and
	painfully underfunded by society as a whole, and is almost entirely
	dependent on random people maintaining things in their free time
	because they find it fun, many of whom are close to burnout.  This
	is, in many ways, the true root cause of this entire event.  Russ 
Allbery Incredible work from Andres.  The attackers made a serious
	strategic mistake: they made PostgreSQL slightly slower.  Thomas
Munro There is no way to discuss this in public without turning a single
	malicious entity into 10000 malicious entities once the
	information is widely known. Making sure the impact and mitigations 
are known before posting
	this publicly so that everyone knows what to do before the 10000
	malicious entities start attacking is just common sense.  Marc
Deslauriers
