Literally yes. I want them to force CA and other places considering these laws to actually evaluate the cost of locking their IT infrastructure out of Linux for this. I want them to demonstrate that a relatively small area of the world can't just change the trajectory of international open source projects at their own whim.

At this point that is by far the strongest option available to push back against this mess, and they just completely fucking trashed it in some misguided attempt to "play ball".

Now, all the government numptys who don't understand tech will just point to systemd and go "it wasn't a problem for them, you're just being difficult" when it comes to furthering their overreach.
