You have a point to some degree, yet I still think it is defensible to make this post. He majorly altered software

• downstream
• against user expectations
• for somewhat spurious reasons
• seemingly quite ad-hoc

He then went on to defend that decision in a less-than-graceful way before announcing there will be a second, new package.

But, to make it clear: I certainly don’t approve of hate directed toward him and I don’t have a personal issue with him.
