I'm sure he'd be happy to leave packages alone for anyone who prefers their packages remain broken.

I wouldn't say I'm "happy" to, but I'll certainly comply with the request. The reason I wouldn't be happy is that the effects of a "broken" package (especially the more popular it becomes) can't be contained easily. The breakage cascades through the build-dep graph (I already mentioned the `text`-example in another reply). In some sense, "no package is an island"... Cheers, hvr
