I think you don't get it. "State" for me is what is my CRAN/ directory from
where a simple debian/watch sees a new package (or I know anyway because of
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/ and the RSS feed and Tweets it
generates) so I operate on it. That "state" had no idea that the team had
decided to adopt the package.
It was a simple miscommunication. I was unware you all now "owned" this. So
no plot to take over the world and undo precious previous work. Next time I
just file a bug report when "your" package needs an update.
