St Peter was the first Pope; all Popes after are successors to him

agreed, a huge, slow-moving target for a bad actor to try to shoot down

Are there any other examples of companies doing similar releases of valuable internal data?

the early OkCupid blog was really good at this

This one has always stuck with me (archive version: https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/okcupid/whyyoushouldne...)

There's a note in the text, but the infographic is way out of date.

With Android, ant makes naive assumptions.
