I wouldn't say it's unsound, more like "not yet proved to be bug-free" :)

Note that the latest master fixes all the issues found so far.

I agree that it would be nice to have a proof of correctness, but I
prefer to wait until it stabilizes a bit before embarking in a long
verification of all the cases. Part of the reason to release it now is
so that people can try it out and suggest changes and additions. I am
pretty confident that, if there are other issues, they can be fixed
without significantly altering the interface or the overall approach.

BR,
