Honestly, I think upstream have done an *awful *job of handling it so far

but I think sometimes their definition of troll expands to include anyone
who doesn't agree with them.

The worst is that fact that discussion about this problem was locked in
upstream bugtracker.

Honestly, given the level of flaming and trolling that happens on issues
like this, locking the report is the only sane option I can see once
everyone started piling on.   Forcing FOSS maintainers to accept infinite
amounts of shitposting is a horrible way to reduce security by burning
out all FOSS maintainers quickly and leaving software abandoned.
