tangentially related to the https://human-emacs.org project, I've been thinking about distro policies

several distros have no-LLM policies applying to packaging scripts, but afaict no one is tracking LLM infection in the upstreams themselves, probably because it's just a huge amount of work and no one distro could be expected to actually keep track of all that!

if I hadn't just started this Human Emacs project, I would be looking at coordinating across distros and coming up with some way to pool effort to track which upstreams are infected, which have strong protections in place, which are at risk, and how badly

similar to the "vibe-check" package metadata suggested by @cwebber here: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-consensus-documents/pulls/13#issuecomment-15774065

if you're looking at all this wondering "what can I do about all this?" I'd suggest approaching it from this direction, especially if you have experience packaging and working with distros
