I consider it an extreme abuse of -devel-announce.

I am again upset that I am being "punished" for following policy.

Since you insist on complaining about me following policy, I have 
decided that I will not follow *any* policy about a "/usr/doc -> 
/usr/share/doc transition plan", should one be decided on.

If this is such an issue, why is it that you objectors to /usr/doc -> 
/usr/share/doc with no transition did not object to the FHS amendment 
to policy as it was?
