demand? Perhaps if you are unhappy you should ask for a refund. I just can't get my head around this sort of entitlement.

- Kwpolska 2y agoWhat do you propose instead? Why should users always accept and agree with the Debian maintainers' choices, even if they're dumb and produce insecure software? Why should being a volunteer give you a get out of jail free card?
- Daviey 2y agoI propose request, rather than demand. If you don't agree with the maintainers choice and it is a legitimate issue, you could raise the issue with the Debian community and try to get some more support. Alternatively, suggest a fix that meets both requirements (such as a -full package). There is no get out jail card here... just people volunteering their time, and a subset of users that feel they have some sort of entitlement. If I volunteer to pick up trash at my local park, would you demand that I pick up your garbage? No.. that would make you a jerk. I'm an inactive Debian Maintainer and retired Ubuntu core dev, so perhaps my views are biased.. but I really think people should show these volunteers more respect.
