I understand what you say, even empathise a liitle.  I am not sure what the 
answer is to this conundrum:

Use the 'official' signed version and trust it to act as a firewall; add in 
some third-party software and trust the author of that module not to break 
the firewall.

I am happy to do this, so long as I understand what the module does, can 
inspect its code, and test its functionality.  I may be lucky - I do this 
stuff for a living - but isn't somebody without the knowledge to do this 
putting a lot of (blind) trust in m0n0?
