This is the last thing I will say on this. Where the heck were you guys 11 months ago? Surely not following development, but you want to piss about it now.

I do read pacman-dev on occasion, but not regularly, and I don't follow each patch thread or new feature. I heard that the Architecture option was coming, but was never too concerned with the details (just random happiness about it) - I didn't even know it would be an option, but thought it was just default behaviour. I even discussed the issue with Xavier I think, maybe it was Allan, it's too long ago. If you read my emails, you will see that I did not complain a single time, but rather wanted to know what the reasoning behind this decision was (which I'd still like to know btw). And while I think that this should be changed to the way I suggested (which would be a trivial change), for the reasons I posted, I can live with it either way.
