Perhaps not implausible in its strictest sense, as it could be done. It
would, however, be a monumentally stupid idea in the general case, if
said user happened to be a contributor upstream to widely-used
packages, or happened to discover an important security bug in such a
package. Leaving users without important applications, or vulnerable to
security holes, because of what is essentially a personal dislike, is
frankly a moronic proposition.
