They responded to it when it first came up 4 months ago. I'll paste my appropriate comment from that time.
The f-droid team spoke to that in a recent post. The post basically said that if that change isn't stopped on a government level there's no way for them to continue working. They didn't mention roms.

In theory this is awesome. Humans aren't built for menial tasks. All repetitive monotonous tasks should be automated. However, this doesn't fit our current economic system. Obviously all automation needs to be taxed, so that we don't have to live this paradox where each technological advancement is a risk to our livelihood.
Jesus that post is bleak. It's basically "Please write your political representative to do something or we're forced to close up shop". Since all our political representatives are walking around with massive hard-ons at the idea of surveilling us, it's basically a poorly veiled good bye note.
In before EU genocides all starlings because you can't put backdoors in them to scan for CSAM.
I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he's glad he doesn't have to deal with it. That's the only way this makes sense.
So like Linux has been doing for years?
"I don't think there is any European country that would arrest Netanyahu,"
Anyone not complying with the ICC arrest warrant not only deletigimitizes the ICC, but also makes themselves complicit in a genocide. This is literally criminal.
Why should I follow any laws anymore if my leadership takes a massive dump on the most important ones?
Jesus fuck that's scary. I thought we europeans would need to fend of Russia in the near future. Now it might be the USA as well.
I've seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they're putting in the bottom line.
Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced "Gah-nome", or Latex "Latech". Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

I really don't like how the "protect the children" excuse every neo fascist government is touting to sell their wet dreams of tracking everyone 24/7, still gets debated like it has any validity. Kudos to Japan for having seemingly working child protection laws, but this just doesn't have any relevance to the surveillance machine that's currently being built around us. It's coming even if every child disappeared today. I'd rather see more active discussions around what the next steps are, alternatives to the current web and guides how to set them up for example.
