Agreed, although I think most people would agree with the principle |
| 12 |
being alluded to. I don't think many people had issues with making |
| 13 |
users fetch their java files, as they generally had stable URLs and were |
| 14 |
hosted for a long time. The real issue is with software where old |
| 15 |
versions are completely deprecated a day after something newer is |
| 16 |
available. Many games fall into this zone, and as a result they rarely |
| 17 |
become stable packages. |
