   Eeh what's up with the `unzip` tool? this hasn't had a release since 2009 and has ~30 patches applied for it in all the various distros that package it for all the various CVEs that are in there. Why is this the implementation that's shipping to everyone?

     @martijnbraam Also it reminds me of why I think distros ought to make proper forks usable by others when upstream doesn't seems to be applying patches.
