And neither of those two reason provide good cause as to not notifying
the community that there was an intrusion, that the extent of the damage
was unknown, that the extent of the damage was being investigated and that
until further information becomes available it would be prudent not to
updates packages without good cause.

The way the incident was handled doesn't inspire trust. Lot's of other things
the project does though.

Or, alternatively a project that takes its community for granted.

If they had legal constraints on them for some reason, then I would expect
that later they would explain what those constraints were and what they
were going to do to make sure they weren't under them in the future.

Even if Paul could not have done more in this case, because he was legally
handcuffed, there is still a problem. This is supposed to be a community
distribution and there should have been more information provided to
the community in a timely manner. This should be fixed for the next time
something like this happens.
