I see no such attitude. After reading this and previous thread the quote above 
expresses what happened quite neutrally: AUR package was used by group of 
people, after moving package to community, some things (important to that 
group) became broken - presumably because of some changes in community package. 
There is nothing wrong in telling that one person was maintaining package and 
his colleagues became accustomed to that package.
