I feel the need to express my position for a variety of reasons, the most prominent being I am the one who proposed the discussion about the automatic service stopping before uninstalling. Let me state this again: I proposed the *discussion* about it, since there was no official guideline. I never asked to implement it, even though at that time I saw it as a defect. My opinion has changed since then. As a TU I take my work very seriously and I feel responsible for my own decisions. This is the reason why I prefer to ask when there's no official policy, and the above case demonstrated it is a good practice. I often don't take into account a variety of factors which later show up to be fundamental, that's why when I come up with proposals that sound like "handholding", "un-archish" or just plain ugly I ask devs, TUs and the community what they think about them. I am still learning and I need their experience. Please take my proposals and questions as an effort to follow the Arch Way, and not as an attempt to change it.

Suffice to say: for all the "old timers" out there, I am on your side. I *am* an "old timer", and I will do everything in my power to make arch what it was.
Do 3+ years of Arch make me an "old timer"? I think so. Count me on that list. Corrado
