I think the problem was in this situation that the implications of
what you were proposing weren't sufficiently spelt out. I think this
was the e-mail where you suggested blocking ppc:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-April/msg00206.html
The problem is the subject and/or body should have had a big fat
warning like: "all mono-dependent apps such as banshee etc. will also
have to be blocked temporarily" to get people's attention above the
chaff of the high f-d-l traffic.
For example, when I looked at that e-mail I saw the keywords
"monodevelop", "blocking", "ppc" and assumed you were probably talking
about a single mono package, not the entire stack. If I had realized
exactly what was being proposed, I'm sure I and others would have
spoken up.
