It seems that the author has posted again on the github issue after it got unlocked [0].

They do finally go into a little more detail about what their issues are with the packaging, beyond the single post with details originally in the thread.

> In the end, I think the way this project distributes Home Assistant (and its integrations, including Ambee) is not providing the intended working and thus may surprise the end user. In the end, those users are likely to knock on the doors of the Home Assistant project and their integration maintainers, not this project. As a matter of fact, most of my packages in this project are outdated and don't match the distributed version of Home Assistant.

They don't seem to address why they don't think that any of the proposed solutions would have addressed their concerns.
