this evil developer is doing a sinister thing

Nobody has said that here.

that community

I've no idea what community you're referring to. Nobody here has demanded that any developers cater to their distribution's needs.

If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it's being unreasonable... don't come here looking for a personal army.

Again, I've no idea what community you're referring to. Nobody has come here looking for a personal army.

Your characterisation of the commentary on this post seems like that of an overly. dramatic. teenager.

Strange- the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is "incorrect" by your assertions. Further you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect. Nothing I stated is dramatic: it is an observation and a comment on an increasing trend popping up around several projects. This particular topic and your responses within it align with that trend. My closing statement was directed at that. You are welcome to not like it but resorting to insults is a bit childish.

Not incorrect, just poor engineering. Anti-social ultimately.

I can see only two disagreements in the whole post. Only one of those is about the reasons for creating an OS rather than distro packages. I have corrected a number of factual errors and errors in reasoning but those aren't disagreements.

Yes, my dismissing of them is not what makes them incorrect.

Nothing I stated is dramatic

LOL "this evil developer is doing a sinister thing"
