This is not a valid comparison. I already covered this in a previous
reply[1]. Note though that I made no suggestion that any package should
get "kicked out". I was only referring to SRUs.

Ubuntu does not make decisions by popular vote, and generally Ubuntu
developers with concurring opinions do not vote. The lack of supporting
voices therefore does not imply that there aren't any. I do not speak
for Ubuntu alone of course. See the Ubuntu Code of Conduct[2] (perhaps a
misnomer here since I'm not referring to "conduct") for details of how
decisions are made in Ubuntu.
