I don't think this is the case at all. You are commenting in a discussion on how a maintainer of an unstable project which very clearly and unambiguously only targets and supports a specific version of a runtime. Still, said maintainer is being pestered by entitled users who attack the maintainer and how they chose to invest their free time contributing to the project with accusations of being "insane".

This is not "passion". This is sheer entitlement, and abuse on top.

If this was passion, you'd see users contributing their work with proposals to post releases. Even very low effort things like forking the repo and posting their custom releases would be infinitely more productive. You know, the core of FLOSS.

But no. You have someone doing their best generously contributing their time to provide something to the public, and in return they get insults and abuse.

No wonder projects get archived.
