That question is a matter of judgment, not objective fact. If this were a question of objective fact, the maintainers could conceivably be objectively wrong, and someoe else objectively right. Such things are unusual, but they do happen. But there is no objectively right in a question like this. The maintainers have to go by _their_ best judgment. Others who disagree can try to show good reasons for judging things differently; but if the managers have understood those reasons and are not convinced by them, that's the end of it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
