Idk if that’s the right takeaway, more like ‘oh shit there’s probably many of these long con contributors out there, and we just happened to catch this one because it was a little sloppy due to the 0.5s thing’
This shit got merged. Binary blobs and hex digit replacements. Into low level code that many things use. Just imagine how often there’s no oversight at all
