EDIT: Why the downvote?

So he's just adding a message to the release notes every few years. I don't think that justifies a fear that he'll "erase all my students' computers", as TFA seems to worry.

Yeah, if he was showing some political message the first time you start notepad++ or something like that then it might make sense to worry about future behaviors but every single time it has been the release name or the release notes so its completely unjustified.

But that did happen. It auto typed stuff in the editor after start.

Citation needed, I find no information online about that happening.

Weird, if true, but far from the implied cyberterrorism.

Btw, your edit is against HN guidelines:
