From some angles I can see a justification. It may well be that users direct questions about breakage caused by module B’s too-clever use of module A to the author of module A, instead of the author of module B. In such a case I can understand upstream lashing back against something done downstream. I have seen such situations occur many times in the wider libre software community. Bad blood of one kind or another is *inevitable* when they happen. From what I know so far of this particular situation (which amounts to very little), Marc’s reaction was not motivated by actual misdirected support burden. In that case it does seem like, ahem, a Richard move. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
