Major shifts in behavior from the lead developer does not concern you? Overthrowing the dependencies used and opting in for more experimental and not as battletested JS frameworks does not alarm you?

Going against a strong personal opinion after stagnation of development and a complete pivot on multiple levels is normal to you?

Shall I mention mainframes still run COBOL? Should I introduce the latest version of this library to achieve the same? You do know it entails more chance of something wrong happening, and yes the developer is Russian, didn't we have an advisory against Kaspersky?

Why would a repository with six figure stars be negligible and Kaspersky not? Please read other comments as well. Thanks for your perspective and have a great weekend.

Your entire operating theory is that a man you don't even know, a software developer, changed how he feels about software design?

What the heck are you even trying to say here?

I mean, maybe his country launching itself into war and mining it's population for bodies to throw at Ukranian bullets and most educated or valuable people fleeing made him reevaluate his feelings on lots of things? Do you have any actual concerns about the code, or are you honestly trying to draw some crazy conspiracy between "A library went a direction I don't like" and "This might be an attack against my work"?
