The main issue is that the researchers are now untrustworthy because they conducted this experiment without permission. Essentially, the kernel dev team can no longer trust that any given patch from U of M isn't the same research team using a different email address to submit more malicious patches.
You actually think there should be way to "trust" someone by looking at his/her Email address domain?
No? I think that there is reason to not trust anything from a given domain if that domain is in use by bad actors.
