Kinda sounds like you might be scared 🤷♂️

I am returning your accusation of cowardice.
It's easy to call someone else a coward for not risking imprisonment. I'm simply suggesting if you believe they're being cowards, why don't you fork the project and maintain a version with those features? It's a simple decision, no? Why not?
I don't have the time, desire, inclination, or ability.
