This had absolutely nothing to do with the Team, in fact it adversely affected some Team members as well since their addon repo's were also included, the Caretaker script originated with the kodinerds devs and used a list produced by them. Action has now been taken to make sure any addon with an open support thread on this forum does not include the Caretaker script.
In the past the Team view has always been that users systems are theirs to do with as they wish and we should not inhibit them from doing whatever they want, the only consequence of doing what they want is that if may disqualify them from getting support on the forum if it is piracy related. However we also recognise there are legitimate concerns by addon devs that led to them including this Caretaker script so discussions are now underway internally of whether we allow something like Caretaker as long as it operates to a strict set of criteria, or we are completely against anything like this at all.
