While I have nothing bad to say about the other repo sources, every other repo (AFAIK) pulls from the community repos,
sothere's no reason that they would be *more* security than the community sources.  The Infra team takes build chain
andhosting security very seriously, and I would say that you are as safe with the community repos as you would be with
anyother source.
