This is 100% a nationalism thing. They want to be able to say we make our own operating system. That's it. It's going to be a disaster when they inevitably fuck up because they are doing g it for the wrong reasons.

How is controlling the package repo for your gov a bad thing?

Because they aren't doing it to control the package repo, they are doing it to score nationalism points.

Guess what, nationalism and security go together for all the right reasons.
