Moreover, not each porter have needed qualification for that work. 

I mean, this is responsibility question. 

I have needed qualification and for that reason I see how big amount of
work needs to be done in that way, this is not simple log message
"something changed", there detailed analyze of program code flow needed.
And I can't take that responsibility due to lack of resources and
interest.

For example, binary daemon changed. I can't say that it is secure as 
before without full testing cycle. And I don't want to do that cycle. And 
I can't produce simple log message saing "something change there and 
there, all is Ok". Because I know that something can be fishy here.
