A piece of software cannot be a conspiracy. A conspiracy requires
*people*. People conspire; i.e. they collaborate secretly for the
purposes of some harmful act.

An illustrative example of the conspiracy principle might be discovered
in this very thread. You and the other poster (whose off-the-wall
inquiry felt rather like a troll) could conspire, let us just say in the purest
hypothetical tradition, to transform a discussion concerning a simple
security advisory into yet another systemd flame war.
