People were saying that Linux dont get attacked because of market share percentage. Seems they are doing just for the hell of it, linux Mint go his to as well recently.
I think this testes the state of Linux repos and key system since it's pretty much very minor for their users. Disruption would be for the distro users only, not the whole linux community.
