Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
This article is a rebuttal from a former RubyGems.org operator responding to Ruby Central's "Incident Response Timeline" about a security incident. The author disputes Ruby Central's claims as exaggerated and misleading, emphasizing that they operated RubyGems.org securely for over ten years and that Ruby Central's own statement acknowledges no evidence of data being copied or retained by unauthorized parties. The piece appears to be a personal defense against allegations made in an official incident report.
