Yes. I'm also fed up by Linux distribution packagers blaming me 
for making new releases. This is a problem many open source 
projects have.

And it really gets bizarre when people are insisting on using 
binary packages because they already pay for a support contract 
for an enterprise distribution but then blame upstream developers 
for not providing a specific solution at no charge.

Ciao, Michael.
