Some places of code were actually unsound (which means: got function containing unsafe and marked safe even if it didn't upheld the invariant of the unsafe block, meaning you could trigger UB from safe code: this is a big no-go in Rust).

That being said, the whole drama with people mobbing the author on every social media, calling him name and so on, is indeed regrettable.
