I am disappointed in some of the reactions this !! proposal !! has received, with some people apparently reading it in the most uncharitable way. It was a proposal that tried to address technical problems package maintainers and release engineering is facing, not some conspiracy to break the “gaming use case”.
They’re joking, the comment the link is to writes about this same behavior.
Oh, I see. I read the comment but didn’t make the connection. My bad.
