Good thoughts. Did you follow the link to thread that was the tipping point for the blog author? The thread creator was very rude (according to, due to his own mental health situation). We all have different levels of tolerance and patience, but I can totally see why the blog author would be fed up after such a comment, if things were already stressful.

Yes, I've just reread it, and while I completely disagree with the issue creator's attitude, he does have a point:

you also removed all the old versions that were released under an open source license so that others couldn't continue to use out-of-support versions

I haven't verify if this is true of not, but this is just not necessary. If the author stops providing pre-built binary for newer release versions, so be it. But I think it is a little too much aggressive from the author to delete old release versions as well.
