And you broke it anyway?  Why?

I don't recall that.  Anyway, you can't force people to maintain
software.  I relinquished my maintainership for Vinum simply because I
couldn't work with you.  Judging by your present attitude, I don't
think anything has changed.  If you make changes, you should ensure
they don't break anything.  Your change broke things.  Don't blame the
fact on other people.
