I do ignore jerks. However, some jerks become problems for our project, and flood our bugtrackers and distro bugtrackers with inane bugs which point out some "flaw" in Audacious and then ask for XMMS to be restored. Which reflects poorly on our project. Luckily, I don't think Debian has so many jerks, as it's targeted at a more mature audience than those distros that I speak of were. What's funny is that some of these people who were doing this wound up switching to Debian thinking that it would always keep XMMS for some reason.
