I feel bad for the guy, he's not wrong, that's for sure, but a recent example of "doing this right" is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18525025 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18525025 / https://github.com/FineUploader/fine-uploader/issues/2073 https://github.com/FineUploader/fine-uploader/issues/2073 (FineUploader is shutting down) At least, it seems that way to me. If I were ever in a burdensome positioning of maintaining a package I didn't want to maintain, I'd go for the explicit archive/sunset route. At that point if someone wants to fork and re-package, they can do it, but it won't mess with anything directly downstream immediately.
