Open source is a precondition. They can promise you the world, but if you can't build it yourself and get reproducible builds, who knows what's in there.

Yeah, agree. We've had enough fun recently with the likes of the CIA backed Crypto-AG.

Sure, but a precondition itself doesn't guarantee anything. You still need to pony up the money for actual aufits.
