I fail to see any wrong behavior here. A bug report was created and a review |
| 8 |
of the changes was requested. The first reaction came after several weeks |
| 9 |
after the bug filing, and the first objection almost two months after the |
| 10 |
change was applied. |

Then the maintainer came and masked his package, which I see nothing wrong |
| 14 |
with either. Except for the violation of visibility requirements only in this |
| 15 |
particular case. |

When someone asks about changing a package which someone else maintains, I |
| 22 |
always suggest reporting a bug about it. Do you think that is generally ok, |
| 23 |
or not the proper way to communicate? |
