Yes this all stated to blow up though when Mechanic posed the question would Lopp gain financially via Shitrea if these changes were enacted...

kinda reeks of desperation tbh.

ie, on his blog Lopp explains in detail why Knots doesn't inherit Cores security.

but Kratter just says "nuh-uh."

He doesn't have the bonafides to criticize Lopp, and his audience are mostly lemmings.
