Parts of this have been linked to here over the past week or so, but I don't think the full picture was discussed yet. Even ignoring the conspiracy aspects, it's another set of packages where a change in the upstream has had an effect on a number of other projects.

I recall a couple of years ago this guy was accused of experimenting with 'bomb making materials' in his apartment. Does anyone know what happened with that?
