When you’re talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don’t like to be treated poorly.

    The software is almost certainly provided as is, with risks assumed by the person installing it.

    Still, I doubt any dev wants a catastrophic outcome and takes steps to avoid that or warn the end user if the code is more likely to bork something.

    I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the dev to do their best but it’s also not like you can sue them and win, most likely.
