Do you trust everyone who contributes to, reviews, and maintains the package management infrastructure you use?

Do you ever find the feeling of control challenged when you want to upgrade an application you use without upgrading the entire OS in lockstep, or vice versa?

I'm confident the distribution I use isn't trying to collect, catalogue and sell my private info, or lock me into a service or product. So far it doesn't interfere with what I want in any way.

So yes I trust my distribution.
