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.

I think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn't have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.
