Apologies, that wasn't my intention.

Your instructions were to close this bug if I disagreed with it.

I was thinking this over, and I perhaps reacted too quickly just now --
perhaps you are right, and I won't get more time to work on this package in
the near future.

However your methods leave a lot to be desired.  I don't like the
implication that I have to do work to satisfy your checklist.  The package
in question is not causing loss of life, it's not costing millions of
dollars.  You could have asked me nicely to consider if I was going to be
able to do the work to clean up the package, and suggest the benefits (for
me) to have the package orphaned instead; but rather you have been blunt and
have not instilled within me a feeling of cooperation or goodwill.

That said, I do not wish to waste any more of my time on the issue, so am
orphaning the package.  You may check it off your clipboard.
