Au contraire. I believe Robert knows pretty much what he's talking about.
Even though his form is not always what I consider cordial, the content of
his mails and his reasoning is sound.

No need for shitlists. Please read _again_ what exactly Robert is
advocating.
I'll even repeat it for you:
Go and orphan your packages, if you want to focus just on
upstream.
He's not advocating forcing people out or forcing them to orphan packages.
What he suggests is that people wanting to concentrate on upstream
development are able to do that without being burdened by maintaining
packages for distributions.
