And creating a crippled version of something you wrote and passing it off as the original, in a way that clearly breaks things for other people definitely is something to get upset about.
There was a discussion of this issue on the libraries list in June/July, resulting in an agreed policy being added to the hackage upload page, including: If a package is being maintained, any release not approved and supported by the maintainer should use a different package name. I am also willing to remove any release with an unchanged name and made without the support of the maintainer. You have made clear that the DrIFT-2.2.3 upload is in that category, so I have now removed it. Looking through, the only other package I spotted that might be such is HsASA-0.1 -- please let me know about this one, and any others I've missed.
