Well ... if you trust this community to fix Morphic, which is a total 
mess compared to Tweak, why wouldn't you trust it to be able to fix / 
change / do whatever is necessary for your own needs if such an 
incident would happen? This is the confidence open source gives you. 
You may not be able to convince Andreas to do or not to do anything 
specific to Tweak, but you're free to fix it on your own (or get 
someone else to do it for you) if it must be.
