Yes, I've just reread it, and while I completely disagree with the issue creator's attitude, he does have a point:

you also removed all the old versions that were released under an open source license so that others couldn't continue to use out-of-support versions

I haven't verify if this is true of not, but this is just not necessary. If the author stops providing pre-built binary for newer release versions, so be it. But I think it is a little too much aggressive from the author to delete old release versions as well.
