I'd like to send virtual chocolate¹ to all of the distribution maintainers who deal with toxic upstreams so that the users can get the software without having to deal with the toxicity themselves.

You are doing a great and *useful* job!

¹ if you're not in the mood for chocolate it will turn magically into whatever virtual comfort food you want

P.S. this is not restricted to any episode / project you may be thinking about.
