I'm not sure why you bring this up again here since I was under the impression we cleared up the misunderstanding an hour before on IRC. As discussed on IRC we were under the impression that you monitor IRC traffic, but chose to ignore our requests for reasons unknown. I especially believed that since you just stopped replying during a discussion we had in May and you never picked up the discussion again. I believe I have explained this sufficiently in the discussion that happened in the hour prior to you sending this mail, but if you feel that I should explain the reasoning again, please tell me.
This kind of threat is inappropriate.
Lack of communication on your side is inappropriate. If there is a good reason not to upgrade a package, put that information somewhere, instead of letting it decay.
I don't see much communication about why packages are not updated. Why are you asking me think others don't do? Why are you targeting me where is this so much package more out-of-date ?
As explained on IRC, I got asked by a user why ceph is not being upgraded and I knew Bartłomiej tried to get in touch with you about ceph before. When I asked him if he has heard anything from you, he denied. Given my own history of unsuccessful communication with you (see my first paragraphs), we looked into other ways of dealing with the problem of neglected packages. We started with ceph since that was the reason for thinking about this again. Nothing of this has ever been intended to be a threat or targeted at you specifically. This is really just a big misunderstanding as I tried to explained on IRC and in the first paragraphs of this mail. Also please understand that we did try to contact you via IRC and since that didn't work we expected you not the care about the package any more (again, see above). Since we don't take action without a mail first Bartłomiej sent this mail. To my surprise you reacted, although not the way I would have expected. Granted, I could have probably sent you an email when you dropped out of the discussion back in May, but I didn't expect you to simply vanish from IRC, while keeping your bouncer online, without telling anyone. Sorry about that. Do you understand what happened here and why? If not, please tell me what exactly you don't understand fully so I can explain it further. Florian
