According to the internet, Syed is knowing for keeping quality standards in his projects. Besides if he does something wrong I know where he lives. Nah, just kidding.
I kinda trust him but can't controvert at the same time. And that is normal and expected in every change of this kind. This is the internet. And businesses on the internet are more flexible but also more fluid by trend.

My opinion is that this plugin just got an innovation path.
If that doesn't happen, there is always the fork way.
