This is a two-way street though. Aurelien was trying to solve a problem he perceived to exist with the arm port. His solution has been rejected, but is the original problem being addressed? Frankly I think ftp-master abused his dual roles (ftp-master and arm buildd admin) in this incident; any one else's actions would have been subject to peer review.
