They mean that I don't see really any value in your framework of 'fault' vs not. We are still left with the question of 'what do you do'.
For a project of this magnitude, I don't think the maintainer made the wrong decision. But just because someone else is at fault does not mean that every decision by the other party in response is a good one.
- ziddoap 2y agoYou're really hanging on to the word 'fault', but 'fault' is not the main point I was trying to convey with my comment. My point was: I don't think this post will serve as a reminder to be nice to OSS maintainers (as the original comment I replied to was saying), because the majority of comments I see are some variation of "toughen up" directed at the maintainers.
