What you are implying, is that your voting was effectively shooting
down cooperation and coexistance with other 3rd parties. I'm sure
other people that voted like you have a different interpretation of
their vote, at least I hope so.

But at the very least this requires the clarification I asked for. Did
the other 4 people that voted against it also vote against working
with other repos? If so, then you are right, and it takes me a while
to understand it and get over it.
