This is a technical mailing list. If you want to discuss technical topics about Arch, you're in the right place. If you want to state your _opinion_, get yourself a blog.
And if this opinion is about something going on (for the better or for the worse) in Arch Linux? If I have concerns about systemd for good reasons, even if they are not "technical" but, say if you like, "personal"? Well, the "personal" concerns can easily become "technical" ones sooner or later. See PA. Blaming ALSA for PA's bugs. What if this will happen with systemd, too? And I bet this will happen sooner or later.
Shall I really shut up or open my own blog, which the Arch devs, TUs and other users for sure won't know or read? Or would it be better to say my opinion on this "technical" mailing list, so that people can think about that before probably doing a mistake?
I agree. Posting on a blog doesn't get you the intended audience, unless it's a well known one. All you'll get is crawlers and spammers. I enjoy all the discussions on this list, and value the opinion of all users, and if there's someone/something I don't like, I just ignore that. As simple as that.
