I don't know Lars personally, but in the exchanges we've had, he does
seem to be a nice enough guy.
The problem is that there have been more than one incident with Gmane
in groups that I'm affiliated with. I could forgive one incident.
It's harder for me to forgive two. In talking to other people who've
likewise had these kinds of things done to them by Gmane, it's much
much harder for me to forgive multiple such incidents.

The information is available in plenty of places, beyond the official
archive sites. I don't think anyone on the project is going to lose
any sleep that it's not available on Gmane -- that's assuming that it
has not been re-added to Gmane over our express objections.
