Then they should’ve included a short TLDR even harder

TLDR: Open package repositories without some approval and oversight system, like AUR, will have even more problems in the future due to advanced coding AI and malicious foreign hackers.

Edit: Please normalize TLDR’s on bot posts with just a link.

Edit 2: I have been rightfully informed that this is not a bot post. I still think links should not be posted without a tiny abstract, one might say: a TLDR.

I have also been informed that the text does not spell out “foreign”. This is correct. The text does say

Not all of the packaging issues are as bad as the initial wave of trying to steal credentials, some are just adding ridiculous messages in Russian.

This implies but does not establish the nationality of attackers. While Arch has contributors from all over the world, it is commonly cited as being a Canadian distribution (example, see below). https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=arch

Most probably a later addition to this myth, but there is a bemusing, historically stable, and well replicated correlation between stork breeding pairs and human births (1). On a per settlement level, this is commonly attributed to the number of chimneys as typical stork nesting places ≈ number of households ~ births. On a per area instead of a per city scale, I don’t know of any confounders that are quite as obvious; maybe industrialization as a confounder of the area of undisturbed wetlands as stork feeding grounds and an increase first of child mortality and later of sex ed. To be clear, I can’t exclude that medieval or early modern demografers already spotted at least the aforementioned city level correlation, as it’s strikingly clear and stable, but I highly doubt it’s the origin of the myth. 1: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26635482-600-the-uncanny-stork-baby-correlation-that-really-is-for-the-birds/
