There's a false expectation that if a package or project is open source then the maintainer should put in free labor to keep it up-to-date. If you don't like so

There's a false expectation that if a package or project is open source then the maintainer should put in free labor to keep it up-to-date. If you don't like something then fork it and make it yours. Nobody is entitled to anything. If I were the package maintainer I'd most likely do the same if I were getting that kind of response from the community.
