Where did anybody ask the developer to maintain the mods?
Nobody asked the developer to maintain any mod. It was asked if his latest change of params that didn't even effect actual game broke any of the mods. And it did.
And that question ("Do they even still work with the last version that changed the parameters?") already received the only answer which could be given to it: the main game developer can't know which mods still work, that kind of question is better asked to the folks who created the mods.
