So I talked to Lucas in private, and while pedantically speaking the comparison operator '==' shouldn't be used when comparing strings with '[', bash still supports it (although it is not the standard) and this won't affect the release per se.
Therefore, in order to avoid spending even more time changing the code, I will go ahead and upload the package as is. Lucas also told me that they plan to tackle this specific issue in the next releases.
