Adding to the sentiment of others, I've been a long time Arq user and grateful for Stefan's openness and honesty.
I imagine most or all of us with that sentiment did not suffer any data loss or rather did not need to do a retrieval and discovered data loss during that time. So much easier for us to write it off as a non issue. Where is if it affected us I imagine we'd all be quite a bit more upset.
Though most people use common alternatives such as Time Machine which every few months runs into data issues and far less transparency. Stefan could have quietly updated with a fix, and waited to see if anyone discovered the issue and then only announced the issue if that occurred. But instead he proactive announced it. So bravo. And I'm sure he will instill new procedures to hopefully avoid that in the future, but of course with any software there is always room for error no matter how much testing you do.
