What's wrong? There was a popular but dangerously broken library, and the maintainer didn't want to fix it, and so it shut down. Everyone is better off now. The code is still free for anyone who thinks they can fix it. It was a bit messy along the way because people get emotional about bad security, and people on the Internet have freedom to make comments you are free to ignore. This is an open source success story.
