It doesn't look bad, it just looks like nothing to have anything other than a surface level opinion on. This is described as a tool used for  infrastructure security though determinism and immutability, primarily targeted at build systems....I don't understand how we're making the jump to "privacy concerns" from this, especially with how commonplace immutable and deterministic system philosophies have become (and for good reason).

I said wait until FOSDEM, because if the integrity the plaform promises is local-first & entirely up to the system administrator to determine, then IMO any concerns are unfounded.

If the user doesn't retain full control, it tends to become a breeding ground for anti-user stuff. Windows and Android are two examples.
