I'll believe it when it happens. The maintainer hasn't done much regarding this for over 5 years. There are issues raised about this back in 2020 and not much has changed. It just seems suspicious to me. But I might be paranoid.
I'm not willing to trust it.
Same. Even the issue presented here seems to not be taken seriously.
Paraphrasing, but things like: "Ah well, some blobs are ok, it is just for convenience" just smells like trouble.
The project is free and all, but damn. Has nobody, in the last half a decade, thought about automagically building those blobs alongside the project?
In my brain you're just postponing a large build system refactor, one that will get worse over time.
