[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree · Issue #2795 · ventoy/Ventoy

What happened? Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f8946...

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

If the hashes match the files from the Fedora or OpenSUSE releases, then does this really matter?
