The first release candidate of Ion3 has been released. "This is the first 'rc' or '(stable) release candidate' release of Ion3. This means that there will not be any further major changes to it. Bugs will be fixed, and as an exception to the general feature freeze, some hooks may still be added, if deemed useful. Translations may also be included. After no new bugs (that can not be deemed features) have been found in this or following 'rc' releases, the stable Ion3 will be released."

It's actually really simple to understand. Various distributions distribute ion3 packages with unsupported patches. When said ion3 package doesn't work, they go to Tuomo bitching about it.
He has made it exceedingly clear that he will not support patched versions of ion3, and yet the package maintainers continue to distribute these patched versions and make no mention of the fact that it is unsupported by the author. They also continue to distribute ancient versions of ion3 with the same consequence.
All the package maintainers had to do was mention the fact that their package was non-standard and unsupported. They refused to do so; you can't really blame Tuomo for being a tad bit irritated about it.
