@kadu @RubberElectrons It doesn't have to be the company itself.
Imagine the unimaginable scenario where a group of hackers gains access to the company's network and servers and plants a malicious patch to be sent in the next update.
I wouldn't be afraid of the company exploiting this. I would be afraid that a bug or hacker can do whatever with my computer because I gave this software root access, and it gets remotely updated, has network access and can become an amazing tool in the wrong hands.
