It's a great pity, especially as the coldkernel guys were just starting to get
going with something us Qubes users could deploy.
I don't know any of the personalities involved to speak to the wider issues of
whether the decision to pull public patches is justified or not, but personally
if it's a big enough FU to large corporate rip off merchants of original work
and causes them enough problems perhaps it's worth the aggravation to us mere
mortals. If it's just about money and whose balls swing the longest...well meh.
For some reason (given I don't use his OS or know him) I trust the word of the
copperhead guy.
I'm unsure of the impact (if any) on what benefits could have been bought to
dom0 had the decision not been taken, but in VM terms, where we rely on qubes
provided kernel or distro via pvgrub2 I guess it's business as usual. As I'm
using 'their' OS, if ITL didn't deign to include something, I'm generally happy
with that decision.
Once action I have taken is to enable tasket's root action prompt [1] for my
disposable VM template as a bit of 'hardening' there, although I can see Joanna
spitting in my eye from here for supporting that action ;) In my view there is
some utility in knowing if something opened in a dispvm is trying to escalate
to root...
