Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend? (programming.dev)

I was genuinely excited when I first learnt about the Ventoy from a YouTube, then I came to these:

Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months https://programming.dev/post/19516543

Ventoy Update https://programming.dev/post/20508826

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ventoy/comments/1flw461/today_i_discovered_ventoy/

so maybe I'll hold off with Ventoy for now?

The "Ventoy Update" post looks rather suspicious to me. The dev didn't respond to the GitHub issue, so this might just be some jackass pretending to be the dev.

But independently of that, the BLOBs are even more suspicious...
