That question is a matter of judgment, not objective fact.

If this were a question of objective fact, the maintainers could
conceivably be objectively wrong, and someoe else objectively right.
Such things are unusual, but they do happen.

But there is no objectively right in a question like this.  The
maintainers have to go by _their_ best judgment.  Others who disagree
can try to show good reasons for judging things differently; but if
the managers have understood those reasons and are not convinced by
them, that's the end of it.
