Sure the binary is what I run, but I am not following what your point is. If you are paranoid about binaries from an open source project, just compile it yourself. It’s easy. That’s just not an argument against open source.

I'm not arguing against open source. What I'm saying is that binary is NOT an issue. You can analyze it exactly the same way you can do with source code.
