As a non-committer back then, actions like yours that completely ignored 
prior (by years) art, that was worked on in an official project 
workspace, certainly deterred me from continuing to contribute to the 
"collective work" for a bit. These feelings of deterrence will not 
necessarily get verbalised, especially not in the moment. This is 
exactly one of the reasons why portmgr@ decided to eliminate "Created 
by:" on a blanket basis.

The commit history still exists.
