What would happen if you actually said anything anywhere about why Ceph is out of date for at least 9 months? What if you would remember to put a notice that you're going to be busy or just quit bouncer so it's clear you're not present, instead of leaving it up on a one third of channels you were usually sitting on? What would happen if you were on vacation, but sent a one sentence heads up on arch-dev or arch-dev-public? I, for one, know the answer: nothing would happen. We would just wait. And with regard to reason why you didn't ever see any actions towards effectively unmaintained packages is that we never cared enough. But from what I see here, you like that status quo. > When I asked Bartlomiej if that behavior was inappropriate on IRC, I got a > yes. > This is why I posted here after the IRC discussion and asked to never do that > again. > > So, if you find removing others packages is an appropriate leverage for > communicate, I need more explanation. So is there actually anything we did not discuss here or on IRC already, or you just want to keep it downhill from here? From my perspective, we just waste the time stirring the pot. There are certainly better things to do for both of us. (And besides, I did not say yes.) Bartłomiej
