For those outside the loop: rsync starting using AI agents to handle the influx of AI security reports to improve the test suite and fix bugs. It introduced a few CVEs and people who never contributed in any way started firing shots at the maintainer.

At no point did I say anyone was entitled to anything - just that they're justified to complain. The maintainer doesn't have any requirement to care about their complaints nor any requirement to address them. But the people are justified in their response.
