I am judging anyone but "if don't break other packages" needs to be a
explicit guideline, feel free to write up a draft.

Stop being dramatic.

You have misread what I said. I, as a maintainer cannot fix the problem
introduced by a incorrect obsolete in a underlying library since I am
not the maintainer of that library. It should be fixed by the maintainer
of the library themselves. Nothing incorrect about that. Neither is it
unjust to ask a person to fix the problem they introduced. The
maintainer has now fixed the problem and situation is resolved. End of
discussion.
