The PS only says that this is not a flame. Still you reply to my post, 
addressing me (After all you bothered to start your message by greeting 
me personally e.g. "Andrew,") and then state:

    All in all, developers of Cygwin in particular are maintaining their
    packages in their [copious] spare time, and to demand that something
    be done "right now" because someone can't use their package is, to
    say the least, unreasonable, IMO.

It is indeed a natural assumption that the phrase "to demand that 
something be done" is addressed to me, that I was demanding that 
something be done.
