I'm not saying it doesn't matter that dev tools are affected. Those are perhaps some of the most important tools and riskiest to leave vulnerable, because that could result in malware shipped to users from a trustworthy developer, or malware executed on the developer's machine, rather than simply phishing. I just don't think it's fair to assume they did it intentionally. It's a mistake, and one that should be fixed, don't get me wrong. But there's a reason it happened and that seems fair enough to me.

In the same degree as involuntary manslaughter is not intentional murder. Sure they made a mistake. Fairness has limits when you're doing it wrong and know better.
