It seems to me that you are equating dislike for these organizations to dislike for those like yourself who do the work.<p>To this end, it feels like this produces internal noise. When I was reading the article, I picked up on the reproducible builds; the anti-government sentiment was at best a subtext to me. I feel it&#x27;s good to have reproducible builds that are clean, regardless of who may be thwarted as a result (CIA, NSA, FBI, AWS, ISIS, malware vendors, adware vendors, whatever)
