So you agree that we should not be fobbing of users to go to
the upstream and don't bother us with your petty little problems?
One of the services the we provide to the community is that we
can filter the problem reports, and often offer solutions to simple
problems, FAQ's, and not have these bother the upstream authors,
If the maintainers do not have time to deal with reports on
their packages, perhaps they need to lighten their load a trifle and
orphan some packages?
