I'm disagree with author, but must say, he talking about really important things.
Yes, in freedom world, one have freedoms and rights, to choose irresponsibility, coding just for fun, etc.
But right solution here, not to just think all same level of responsibility (or irresponsibility) but to consider right to irresponsibility, and just avoid to use code/data from irresponsible authors, if important.
So I think, nearest time will appear some responsible's list (or irresponsible, read more).
This is not easy, but, unfortunately, ALL MODERN WORLD built on reuse of ready made pieces of knowledge and technology. Share of reused pieces is huge. So we MUST make some database (accurate and actual), from which people could get info if some piece of software (data) is supported, or find supported alternatives.
Who will pay for such database is hard question, from my exp, looks like this will slowly evolve from local (private) initiatives, to once country level or EU/OON wide db(s).
Because, with current unknown state, risks extremely high. And other people also have rights and freedoms, and many of them making significant free contribution to overall wealth, so it is not honest to leave them without support at all.
