It doesn’t really matter to me if there’s some other specific version of Android that fixes some issues if I install it. As a user that’s not something I care about.
The desirable outcome for most people doesn’t seem to be the ability to run android on an iPhone, let’s put it that way.
Also GitHub doesn’t revoke the keys. The providers of the key take provider-specific actions, which may or may not be revocation.
So… yeah.
The status quo is clearly the local minima, given the myriad of trade offs and different parties involved.
Non-malicious actors using it to bring down a system via revocation are therefore indistinguishable from malicious actors. It’s by definition a malicious act.
That’s why it’s a stupid idea. Non-malicious actors should just contact the company and let them take action. It’s not for an outsider to decide the impact of a leak.
For example AWS applies a “quarantine” policy that prevents some specific actions[1].
Allowing anyone to report a potentially compromised key is one thing, but allowing anyone to unilaterally revoke a token is another.

Not this.
Be serious.
Unilaterally decide they should be revoked, without contacting the owner?
And that’s not malicious?
Strange headline given that it seems they are actually just refocusing resources to train a frontier model?
