Does this really need to be rehashed yet again? This isn't arch related yet these PA back and forths keeps popping up in the mailboxes of all the registered people looking for arch-related content.
I didn't follow the original discussion so I cant argument on that extent, but the last thing we need on this list is more noise.
I guess there's a reason why this always pops up on several mailing lists. I would say it's just related to Lennart Poettering who has also developed systemd which was originally mentioned regarding the mount behaviour, and who thinks he needs to take part on the discussion about the FHS and thinks he needs to change every standard. And both tools shall be declared as a new Linux standard (that's at least my impression) even if both don't work very well, don't support every hardware or are just unnecessary (PulseAudio) or have issues regarding incompatibilities (systemd). That's the point and that's why you always will read PulseAudio in threads which are at least partly related to Lennart Poettering or his software. If Lennart would either fix all those issues in PulseAudio and systemd, so that they would really work for everybody and would really bring advantages for everybody or at least no disadvantages, or if his software would just be optional and not needed as a dependency by some distros or DEs, I'm pretty sure this discussion wouldn't always pop up again.
