How many people are just installing binary rpms without question? Do they get the source rpm's and do a check? Probably less .01 percent.
But that's probably enough to make it unlikely (certainly not impossible) with getting away with a back door. Most people just install the RPMs and go. But, we both know that there are some people that are paranoid enough to check EVERYTHING. Read the PGP boards if you have any doubts - some of these people see conspiracies in everything. All it would take to reveal the back door would be for ONE person to see it there. Even though I believe that some of these people are paranoid, they are providing a valuable service. After all, just because they're paranoid doesn't mean that no one is out to get them. <g>
