I'd still like to know how this replaces/conflicts with Arch policy for 'as upstream as possible'. I'm aware that just starting out the answer may just be "we don't know yet", but for me one of the benefits of Arch is that all packages are close to upstream (and thus its easy to discuss bugs with upstream, which may not be the case with 5-10 security-patches from git/svn).
I think you answered your own question with the 'we don't know yet' statement. I'm looking to get in with the archserver.org guys and the only response I've had so far from them seems to be positive. So the Google Group may well be shutting down with everything moving to archserver.org's infrastructure. There's also already one person who wants to join the team and help. Basically watch this space and hopefully we'll have something on the go very soon. thanks, Ananda
