Comment:
If packages leading to ToS bans are to be avoided then perhaps #19576 should be closed? I believe Ripcord also violates the Discord ToS

Comment:
we don't need to care, all that's being violated is discord's EULA, and not by us (since we as a distribution are not the end users/never agreed to it in the first place)

but if it's dead, it might as well go, no point in keeping dead software

Comment:
I agree - it's not our responsibility to enforce Discord's ToS. The most we should do is add an INSTALL.msg stating some people have had their account banned for using third-party clients.

There appears to be an active fork if someone finds this pull request in the future and would like to package cordless: https://github.com/0xSteeW/cordless
