Well, in my eyes, those "rights" were already severely cut when those packages where moved to the intel tree, without the maintainers being involved in anyway. Again, I understand the logistic reasons for this. But: by this process, the packages were marked (in the eyes of the users that will vent their frustration to the general lists or by emailing the maintainer) as ready for usage on Intel -- even though those packages in some cases don't work (yet) at all, may not even compile.

Every announcement we've made about fink on intel, even to this very day, emphasizes that fink on intel is in a very preliminary state. Users who treated things as being 'ready for intel' and behaved accordingly should have been told this.
