Eric, I'm curious, are there particular parts of that collection 
you'd like to bring to people's attention?

Earlier today, I spent about 20 minutes looking through Linux-relevant
bits, and honestly I found absolutely nothing particularly interesting,
just a lot of junior-sysadmin tech tips and documentation miscellany.
But perhaps I am missing some part that _is_ of note?

Update:  Bruce Schneier and his commentariat (which sometimes includes
yr. humble correspondent) have some initial comments on this 'Vault 7'
document dump:

Schneier hasn't delved into the vast lumberyard of stuff in question,
yet.
