Having some concerns about trust is something that can be properly debated and discussed. Translating those concerns into trusting code that was written 10 years ago as OK, while all of the patches/updates/fixes that have been required in the intervening 10 years as not OK, doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. "Protecting" oneself by not keeping up with security-related patches is analogous to jumping out of a plane without a parachute because you can't trust the guy that packs them.
