There was no indication 9 months ago that this bug is so bad that the |
| 9 |
package would be removed if not fixed. Masking the package is ok if it |
| 10 |
is totally broken or violates policy. Removal when the maintainer is |
| 11 |
explicitly against it is not ok. |

Packages have bugs. If it is a bug that affects a small number of users |
| 14 |
in a minor way and there is no easy fix, then the bug will get less |
| 15 |
attention than one that affects many users in a serious way. Live with it. |
