That might depend on whether those files get reviewed or not, and
any effect file transfer habits might have on development.

If files do get reviewed then I suppose there is less need for an
open file transfer tool, but I am still amazed that this project would
choose to use a closed tool, especially when there are other options,
because "audits are too hard anyway" - really? :)


The point is about processes. I remember discussion about
transparency being what fundamentally supports trust, and that the
project needs to remember to consciously maintain transparency.

I don't see a place for closed tools there.
