I believe that make them die wont improve anything but instead this will |
| 29 |
bring more frustration to our users. If you make them die you transfer |
| 30 |
the problem to the users, cause you make them file bugs and wait for |
| 31 |
slacking maintainers to fix the packages. I would say to keep the |
| 32 |
warning as it and hope that maintainers will actually step up and update |
| 33 |
their packages. |
