Of course, I don't know your exact case or situation... But I think
you are overreacting. It blocks your development? While the FTPmasters
have their systems ready, why don't you set up a local apt repository
with all of your new stuff, so it doesn't block you anymore? Yes,
waiting and pinging them is annoying and robs some precious
time... But not much more than that. Specially once you know they are
not out there just to make you more miserable ;-)
