Neither or either. It doesn't matter. There is a trusted set of developers that have a duty to ensure a change is good and appropriate.. Jolla.

It's the same reason I take patches and updates from a restricted set of repos on my web servers rather than just finding a patch online and recompiling it. I can't review code for every change so I rely on professional companies with QA and support contracts.
