It's not a question of being antisocial or uncivilised; it's that it is really hard to say "I just want to patch this for 0.18 and continue using it in my project" without having globally visible effects. It is unreasonable to expect someone to wait for the package maintainer to do the update and have the only real recourse be to pester them until they do. Local repos would fix that once and for all; the automated safeguard could be that you cannot publish a package to global if it depends on a local repo.
