Note that it wasn't just the maintainer; I recall that others also
joined in the flaming, saying that we need maintainers instead of
people who just rebuild packages.
Yes, I did just a rebuild, because I thought it would fix the problem.
When I saw that it didn't (because the issue ended up being more
complicated in that it only appeared on one arch I did not initially
test with) I fixed the problem appropriately. Sadly, the flamers
simply couldn't wait to jump in. I think this is the case far too
often.
