the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is “incorrect”

Not incorrect, just poor engineering. Anti-social ultimately.

you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made

I can see only two disagreements and only one of those is about the reasons for creating an OS rather than distro packages.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect.

Yes, my dismissing of them is not what makes them incorrect.

Nothing I stated is dramatic

LOL “this evil developer is doing a sinister thing”

this evil developer is doing a sinister thing

Nobody has said that here.

that community

I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody here has demanded that any developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it’s being unreasonable… don’t come here looking for a personal army.

Again, I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody has come here looking for a personal army.

Your characterisation of the commentary on this post seems like that of an overly. dramatic. teenager.

This appears to bother a particular community who feel entitled enough to demand multiple developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

Your reading of the situation is wrong.

this is probably a ton of work, for which a purpose-built solution already exists: Docker

LOL Docker isn’t a “solution” to the pressure of good engineering.

He alone has behaved like a child, dragging his end users along with him in his over-reliance on one failure point for his entire distribution system

Yeah, this is exactly as expected. Someone with poor engineering skills finding themselves in a position of power and making sure everyone knows they’re king of the hill. See this kind of thing all the time unfortunately :-(

As the wording in other reports is very similar they either cribbed from that or everyone is using the same pool reporter.

Indeed, and I can’t find a single report containing the actual offence he was charged with. Odd.

the Home Assistant .deb distro package

Firstly, that’s a .deb but it’s not from a distro. Secondly, that .deb doesn’t contain Home Assistant, it contains a Supervised which runs the Home Assistant Docker container:

racism, anti-Semitism, holocaust denial

These things are not criminal offences. Presumably he was convicted of a hate crime, not “racism”. Poor reporting.
