Perhaps not implausible in its strictest sense, as it could be done. It |
| 9 |
would, however, be a monumentally stupid idea in the general case, if |
| 10 |
said user happened to be a contributor upstream to widely-used |
| 11 |
packages, or happened to discover an important security bug in such a |
| 12 |
package. Leaving users without important applications, or vulnerable to |
| 13 |
security holes, because of what is essentially a personal dislike, is |
| 14 |
frankly a moronic proposition. |
