I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

It's a useful tool, but there is a security concern for anything not fully open source. You will have to weigh your risk factors, I doubt that it's any problem for most consumers or distro hoppers.

Best to keep an eye in case any new contributers arrive suddenly...
