How would you do that? A popup in ABRT that reads
"Sorry, but the maintainer of this package has decided to not accept any bug reports."I think this would be a *really* bad user experience.
If telling the truth about Open Source development decisions provide a '*really* bad user experience', the packager and the hosting project has to decide
if a fork is in order, and if they can credibly do it; or
to remove the package and explain why; or
if it is such an immensely popular package that one 'CANNOT' omit it [firefox and the Mozilla Foundation's approach on trademarks comes to mind], still document a URL to the problem in the popup on a pre package basis
Concealing and hiding from the truth (lying to one-self and others about reality) can scarcely be called 'being excellent to one another' or to the community toard which advocacy and service are being targetted, no?
