What you of course neglect to mention is that, for all the other wonderful
things that he actually is, rillian is *not* the upstream author of ices2,
nor even one of its credited contributors.

rillian offered to facilitate a new release - after Jonas asked me to ask
upstream if they could do that - in his capacity as a xiph admin.  And that
was before the actual upstream author said: there's been nothing new to
release since like 2005, except the roar patches, which he was not at all
keen to add to a formal release.  Which if you know MikeS, it should be
obvious that he also went to extraordinary lengths to be polite to you
about what he really thought of including the roar patches in his code.

You aren't being 'persecuted'.  The simple fact is roar doesn't actually
have any users.  Forcing it on to the systems of people who have never
heard of it and will never use it would ordinarily be bad enough.
Giving them DECnet to go with that though, is a very special brand of
black humour.

And it's just not funny anymore.
