That's how democracy works. By listening to it's citizens. Same goes with the AUR, and when people vote for packages for inclusion into the community repo
Errr, no. It's still up to devs and TUs to include a package in the repos. Also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette#Respect_The_Staff Members of The Forum Team have been chosen for their ability to exercise consistently good judgment and shall have the final say. Note that this forum is not run as a democracy.
Never said the entire community was a democracy, I did say thought that like a democracy people vote for the packages to be included. You are right, that the Trusted Users have the final say on what packages get included, I never said otherwise. We obviously can't let everyone in the community have read/write access to the community repo, but the packages that the community members voted for in the AUR, are being looked at by the Trusted Users. That's not a problem to me, and if anything is a sign of a Representative Democracy. In the AUR aspect specifically.
Are you sure TUs pay attention to votes (apart from the minimum required number)? I always just pulled the packages I wanted...
No I'm not sure, but from I've read, I remember it saying that the packages that the community votes for, are considered for inclusion in the community repo. -- Jonathan Vasquez
