Everyone makes mistakes, how the mistake is handled is the important point.
I just found it ironic considering it was posted by the same person who 
caused 
me 20+ hours work repairing my remote login machines, delayed my ISO schedule 
and increased my workload by unilaterally removing features we all relied on 
and whose lack of common sense testing necessitated 9 stable sorcery releases 
in 5 weeks. 
Alongside the other problems, I don't understand how smgl finds that 
acceptable, but that isn't my concern anymore. 
If it were a commercial project, I would have been compensated for all my 
work 
[1], and the continued distribution of my name and email would be 
acceptable . Unfortunately I received no compensation and the unqualifed 
distribution [2] of my name and email is a personal affront.

[1] ignoring that employees wreaking such havoc would be dismissed if they 
showed the same recalcitrance. I don't think the commercial aspect is 
significant either, I can't imagine the kernel developers putting up with 
similar either.
[2] unqualified, meaning anyone reading my name in the grimoire files, 
doesn't 
immediately know I left the "open" project in disgust because it had no tools 
and no intentions to deal with the problems I encountered.
