In the last few weeks I've seen so many threads about rules and votings we want to give ourself(e.g repo destinctions and repo dividing lines, pkg signoff, iso naming, package movements, license issues, cvs move,...). Wasn't it the big advantage to trust the ArchLinux developers that made it fast growing and bleading edge with an acceptable level of instability? I still like to decide myself what and when to move packages into the repos or when to remove them. Now I have to ask and wait for other devs to signoff packages even for minor bugfixes. And that for two architectures. Didn't we elect Mr. T to become the release manager to let him decide what to do? Now with all the discussions to death and often no actions following - see orphans and cleanup - I loose some of the Arch feeling. All these coming rules seem to slow us down more and more without finding new skilled manpower. I'm sure we all only want the best for ArchLinux but is that the right way? Some rules are always ok. But I have the feeling we are on the way to become somewhat of an overcontrolled and superduper planned Debian. Don't you feel the same? Andy
