This discussion have got some press coverage by phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzEwMg And by distrowatch: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090302#news Well, some developers did not liked the press coverage we got from phoronix, I have to say, I did liked it, they made it look more dramatic than it was but we got outstanding support from the community. There were close to no one against our decision. And yes the problem in part was the poor quality of this drivers, so why try to deviate the attention from it? All this have lead me to a conclusion, which was later reaffirmed by Pierrre publishing the percentage of use for the graphics driver in Arch Linux. Those results put catalyst below the open source driver xf86-video-ati. Having seen all that, and the positive reaction of the community in the places where this was covered (phoronix), having the blessing of Aaron Griffin, and all other developers. I think it would be for the best to drop support from this drivers and concentrate our efforts in the drivers that really work, and are not but a pain to the developers. I hereby grant the community the privilege to upload this drivers to AUR/Community and take good care of them. Once they are uploaded on AUR/Community I will proceed to delete them from extra and make a front page news announcement. No other objection? -Thanks Eduardo "kensai" Romero
