Whilst I have in the past refused to use lattice semi conductor hardware due
to a CDN preventing secure compiler verification, whilst apparently noone

I assume you mean trojaned compiler code inserted upstream to disable
protections or ignore unsafe code?
Or do you mean utf-8 library code substitution aimed at a particular
compiler?
