All good points, but now you moved the trust requirement from me having to trust the people working on the code, to me having to trust the tool that hosts the code. I'm not convinced your model is better. :P

Over time, I’d expect trusting the tool to be more and more trustworthy as more and more eyeballs can review the tool.

Whereas having to trust people, especially as people cycle in and out over time can be inherently stochastic.

For me, one of the benefits of FOSS is that I don't have to trust the people. I can look at the code and decide for myself.

Not looking to convince you of that or anything though... :)

Can’t debate that :)
