That's not how libraries work here on ESOUI. If somebody changes the code of a library in a way that impacts the functionality and the author of the library reports it, the offending addon will be removed from the site by admins. Every reputable author will try to avoid having his addon removed. If you download an addon from a well known author with a good reputation, you won't find any customizations in the libs.

I can guarantee you that you don't know most features the bigger addons offer. That's what Ayantir is referring to. Addons are hobby projects we make in our free time, so of course not everything gets documented. Besides you have the full Lua source code available. There is no better transparency than that. If you don't want or can't read the Lua code, you will have to trust the author of the addon and if you can't trust the author, you should not download and install their addons. It's easy as that.
And while it's true that you have your right to voice your opinion, it's also true that authors have the right to theirs and can ignore your requests.
