Do you use nginx, chromium, bash, openssl, linux...? Because they all have disclaimers with more or less the same meaning. It's boilerplate to avoid liability, not warnings motivated by known shortcomings.
- Bartweiss 10y agoI'm aware, but I think I was unclear - that's what prompted my comment on professionals knowing this already. My complaint was more that this is another entry in the pattern of handing people black boxes labeled "this does cryptography!", without offering any plain-English explanation of what they're actually getting. It felt particularly important to me here because it's a comparatively new initiative, and the caveat went on the Readme (seen by users who already know) but not the About (targeting users who might not).
