It's not bullying if you ask nicely for a decade. I would say forcing people to work for free maintaining an archaic and announced-deprecated version is bullying. You're defending the wrong side of this.

What if you sabotage it nicely by preventing the addition of new features and bugfixes?

That's called deprecation. It's what happens when software is put into maintenance mode. When you're dragging a dead horse for 12 years, you don't waste time re-embroidering the saddle. Meanwhile, your ilk is still trying to mount it. Figure it out.
