Surely, that could have been done better (and I don't like that bman didn't contact me) but the repeated claims that it came out of nowhere are plain bs. The bug for discussing what to do [1] was open for a year and 3 months. The only person replying on the bug was maekke, and I think I've talked with some other member on IRC but don't recall whom exactly. Now, I'm sorry if you feel like people didn't ask for your opinion. However, if you really cared about graphics project then you should've either joined the team or at least monitored the alias, and replied to the bug. Attacking people because they executed the action nobody objected to is not nice. Again, I would like to remind you the golden rule: if you want something to be the way you want it to be, do the work or convince somebody to do it. Making unjustified demands of others, ignoring problems and then complaining is not helping anyone. This applies to everyone, regular developers and Council members alike.

He's not the first and not the last person to use wiki wrong. I'd argue the problem is that MW is retarded and it's easy to get it wrong. However, instead of using this as an excuse to strengthen your attack you could've just pinged wiki admins to restore the page (hey, we don't monitor everything that happens on the wiki!). This is done now, enjoy. > A mask is destructive and requires user interaction.

Didn't you just argue against using any information to drive decisions on package removal? Then indeed masks are the only tool we have. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
