Re: [Trisquel-users] "fork" trisquel

Possibly, possibly not. One way to hide it would be to modify the update  
reminder program to pretend to download updates, or to point to a different  
APT repository. It doesn't matter; they're vulnerable to whatever malicious  
features have been added in the meantime.

I don't think you fully comprehend how much of a security hole this would be.  
Maybe an analogy would help: allowing anyone to change what updates are sent  
to users would be almost as bad as leaving an SSH port open and telling  
everyone what your password is in the hope that someone is going to come  
along and fix your security problems. It's completely insane.
