I was referring to what people have been told about them, including in
PROBLEMS.

[I'm not sure you'd actually know a priori whether what I installed

couldn't corrupt data.]

Of course, and I'm surprised at some of what's been added.

Of course.  I happen to be in the best position to evaluate the
factors in this case.
