Is there a CVE for this?

Obvious attack vector for Russia: Submit fixes to severe bugs that can't realistically be fixed any other way.

I guess the Russians will have to learn the Chinese way and perhaps the Chinese language as well?

After a period of branches and patchsets, full national hard forks are going to become de rigeur, and linux-derived OSes across the world are going to bloom necessarily, as we no longer have the kind of ambient trust required to collaborate across borders.

Look forward to Euro-linux, Sino-BSD, and I guess probably some sort of GCC-area build as well.

Patches will be accepted across national boundaries with only the highest scrutiny, which itself will likely be provided by nationalized AI platforms.
