Well, you do have a point there, but I can absolutely understand why Karl has 
done it like that. It was already a huge effort as is, trying to contact all 
possibly still active maintainers before adding their app would have made it 
much worse. If someone is annoyed enough, they can still ask him to remove his 
app again, as he offered. I guess this process, while it may annoy some 
maintainers and cause them to have to write a mail, is overall probably much 
more efficient for HaikuWare.

Overall, I am seeing an effort to help Haiku, because users searching for 
software will have less trouble overall if they don't experience any dead links 
when using HaikuWare.

Best regards,
