Why are you defending him? He infected potentially thousands of people with malware to make a quick buck.

That he reluctantly reverted the change only when people noticed and called him out on it is not particularly honourable or worthy of praise.

And those mistakes affect others. If your mistake was infecting people with malware, you're not going to be a popular person.

What was the mistake? Did they accidentally add the malware? Did they accidentally make the commit message "restructuring dlls"?
