It would have taken him less effort to fix the bug and commit a new
ebuild when he first saw it than it must have taken to file a bug
report and then, months later, kill the package.
And if he doesn't want to be the one to fix it, it is better to just
leave it alone.
Samuli> If it's broken, it shouldn't be in tree, simple as that.
As a user, I can only say bullshit to that.
Packages should not go away over trivial issues. That is harmful,
not helpful.
