This is such a depressing post about the sad state of open source. I can't imagine continuing to maintain the package after what happened.
I want to encourage zloirock to forget about this and move on. I think it would be best for him to take a good paid job, live with his family and enjoy a vacation.
- travisgriggs 4y ago> This is such a depressing post about the sad state of open source. But it's also a depressing post about the sad state of single source. I work in a portion of the software world that interacts with real world widgets, 5 factory buildings are right next to mine. "Single source" is a cuss word around here. We do everything we can to avoid it. I think it's awesome what this guy has done; terrible that it's just one guy. A whole aspect of open source was that it shouldn't become reliant on a single source like this. It's supposed to leverage the gestalt of cooperation. I agree with you, it really is too bad.
