    As I wrote below, it is a matter of boundaries.

    Bad maintainer throws hissy fit when caught breaking the rules for contribution.

    Do people do that because of AI mania?

    But yes, I think this will bring the Void Linux distribution a couple of supportive users, some new people curious to try it, and perhaps new maintainers which share their view.

      People do that because they’re selfish. That’s not a dig, it’s a truth. Pure altruism does not exist. Even when you do something good nobody sees you do and knowing you’ll get no recognition for you’re doing it because it makes you feel good. To varying degrees you can come close to true altruism as that example does but it’s unattainable. In this case the maintainer lost that feel good feedback from recognition and decided rather than fixing the error it felt better to be more selfish.

      tl;dr: people suck
