Those are all good questions, I don't have answers for, so:

I decided for myself I won't use any of the compiled binaries anymore, that
come from that region, on my windows point system.

On my linux node I already compile everything myself, and can check the code
changes in the git repos, before I compile and use an update.


Bye, Wilfred.
