The site has posted this update at the top of the article.


"Updated: This story was updated about 11 hours after it was published
to reflect that Fedora developers have reversed course. Operating
system users once again will be required to enter a root password
before installing software packages."

Thanks for the heads-up, Susmit!

Actually, I think I'll post a roundup of examples of good responses that I've seen, and the resources I've seen those people use, so that it's hopefully easier for the rest of us to Go And Do Likewise.

I believe a "how to respond to negative press" HOWTO was discussed at one point - perhaps this would be a good thing to spend one of our sprint sessions on after this settles down, as a way to reflect on how we did this time and make sure future generations have this history to learn from, too.
