I remember a story where people asked about blobs included in Ventoy and there were no comments from the devs, leading to suspicion.

At the time it wasn’t clear to me if there was any substance to the story or if it was the usual Internet exaggeration, so I resolved to ignore it for the time being and saved a reminder to look into it after a while.

Now my reminder fired off and I looked around, but couldn’t find how the story ended… do you know?

            I also check the open issues when I judge a repo, and there’s only 22, with nearly all of them being feature requests and not bug reports. Also, the majority were opened by the repo owner, and they’re checklist items for future functionality (like making less common ISO’s work).

            It could be that it’s abandoned, or it could be that the maintainer just doesn’t have the time or drive to include edge cases like “NixOS” and “Fedora 37 clones” right now.
