I don't think that's fair. Several people pointed out that Stefan's initial
email was off-topic and somewhat rude, but was probably given some slack
due to the fact that having deployments to the Cheeseshop fail can be
frustrating (leeway I think anyone posting here would have received).

At this point I think there's nothing new to be said and unless someone
wants to take a more drastic step like a formal CoC complaint or calling
for the heads of the management of distutils-sig on spikes, this thread has
run its course.
