If you're in an adversarial relationship with the OEM software developer there's not a whole lot the distro maintainers can do, probably time to find a fork/alternative. (Forks exist for both your examples).
I say this as a casual maintainer of several apps and I'm loathe to manually patch versus upstream any fix.
- Arnavion 2y agoI'm not going to switch to a firefox fork over one line in the configure script invocation. Forks have their own problems with maintenance and security. It's not useful to boil it down to one "adversarial relationship" boolean.
