It's not being dictated by upstream devs. The dev has expressed concerns
we're trying to address them out of respect. He has been neither rude nor demanding from what I have seen, and a simple message is a completely reasonable solution.
Really, the entire OSS community would fall apart if everyone adopted this apparent attitude of "I don't have to do shit for you, no matter how ridiculously easy it would be for me, so why should I? Now do more for me." It's parasitic consumption and it undermines the mutualism on which we
and thrive. It seems there is a misunderstanding of what I was trying to express. It does not bother me that an upstream dev asks the maintainer to add some warnings about the early state of an application and the need of proper bug reports. And I'm fine with giving warnings about that. What I do not understand is him asking for the removal of a package. If he put a public svn he should accept that code is checked out from it. Anyway I do agree with the benefit of understanding and collaboration between open source communities.
