How is it stronger in Debian when the common practice in Debian is to orphan a package and offer it up for adoption? I have been involved in Debian for 10+ years but I have never heard that maintainers filed a removal bug the moment they dropped their package. That's rather uncommon.
Adrian, Stefan was frustrated, like every human being out there is from time to time. He invests a lot of time and effort in our project, hence we should take that with some sympathy (I do!).
I don't see how that has to do with what I said. My point is: If you make such an announcement, allow some more time for someone to step in and take over. It just makes no sense to me to give a a 90 minutes notice as the chance that someone is able to react to this in time is nearly zero. PS: And I think we all here invest a lot of time into open source, Stefan is not alone in this :-). Adrian
