 I'm a bit disappointed to read that.  We really expect people to take
this into account and not stick to a version at some point and never
update it anymore.  It becomes an out-of-bounds maintenance of a package
which we are very unhappy about and always were very clear about when it
was brought up.

 If it is considered too much work then that might be a good sign for
the future to rather avoid backporting it at all in the first place ...

 I'm a bit uncertain on what to suggest to move forward here to get
things straightened out again.

 So long,
Rhonda
