If you want support, availability, or timely fixes, you need to form a business relationship of some kind. Which almost certainly involves paying someone. That has not happened here (at least in the vast, vast majority of cases), so I think they're entirely fine stopping updates / going elsewhere / removing their package, if they want. Anyone who falls apart due to that hasn't been doing due diligence. It totally sucks for them, but that doesn't mean they get to force their issues onto others.
