I tend to ignore it and find it annoying noise. You might as well say
"abandon packaging certain types of webapps in Debian" for all the use
some of the discussion is.

I don't have people saying that javascript should be buildable or its an
ideal, just with people saying it must. When faced with the realities
it just goes back to the "well, it should" again. As a maintainer with
packages that have javascript this is not very helpful.
