You mean the part of the Kodi community, which is on the "dark side"? I don't care.
And you should do some research what a spyware is. Troll somewhere else.

After an extensive team conversation we have decided that we will not be allowing the support of the caretaker add-on or add-ons that require it to have support threads on the forums while we consider our position.
The general consensus is that we do not feel that the add-on is in the spirit of open source and the users' freedom to choose. As a consequence we will be locking support threads and disallowing any topics in relation to the Caretaker add-on support, until we come to a final decision.
Unfortunately this means that support threads for third party skins or add-ons that currently require Caretaker as a dependency will also be affected. If the skin author decides to change their position and remove the add-on dependency from their skin we can reinstate the thread before this time.
*update: sualfred has been in touch and confirmed that he has removed the dependency from his skins and therefore this thread is reinstated.

I hope you will continue with your passion for skins and Kodi even though the "decision" was against you this time.
Your skin and your skills are much appreciated and needed!

Arrived late to the party and missed all the gossip re: caretaker.
Understand the intention behind it’s use as well as the position taken by Team Kodi.
It did help me by making me aware I had installed a blacklisted repository which has been removed and that prompted a complete review and cleanup of repositories and addons.
Belated thanks to the developer and to Sualfred for adjusting his skin’s dependencies.
