I can see that it would make sense to sort of test the packages that we link 
to. On the other hand, most other projects write something like "These 
packages have not been tested by us" disclaimer like.

Testing packages can be a lot of work, I think.

Those who have challenged the inequalities of global trade have pointed to
the fact that some of the world's richest nations once used tariff barriers
to devastating effect in building their economies. But the history of patent
protection suggests that that is not the only means by which the rich
nations have raised the drawbridge after entering the castle. When it suits
the rich countries to impose free trade, they do so. When it suits them to
impose protectionism, they argue that this is the only path to development.
But woe betide the poor nation which seeks to apply the lessons of the past.
