The things I don't like about the discussion on whether this is a state actor behind the #xz backdoor are:
* It doesn't change the response for pretty much anyone except a narrow group of professionals. Ultimately I don't know that it matters for most of us if this was a state attacker or some kid who wants a way to get op privileges.
* It distracts from next steps.
* Would they think that if the actor were named John? Will this increase suspicion of anyone with a "foreign" sounding name?
