More accurately would be "this-driver-is-pre-beta-code-and-
if-you-are-a-beginner-that-can't-figure-out-how-to-compare-
file-size-and-dates-you-probably-should-find-a-more-mature-
driver"

That said, a number of beginners have used it with success.  I'm just
saying that if you can't read the source code the driver is probably a
little less mature than you would like.
