As far as I'm concerned the replacement can stay in community, but if anyone feel otherwise I'd be ok with moving and adopting it.
If you move linux-tools source package into core/extra it make sense to merge it with linux package.
This would force moving these utilities to core instead of extra, and would unnecessarily bind the kernel and some userspace tools together (for example, every rebuild of the kernel would force a rebuild of these tools, regardless if they changed or not). These PKGBUILDs should definitely stay separated.
Currently i removed the last kernel version dot in linux-tools to avoid user confusion between stable kernel number and linux-tools version. I manually check if stable release embed fix for cpupower and perf to avoid user to update when not needed. As a side note, Kernel dev have choosen to ship with kernel source tree those tools. They had the choice of moving them into linux-util or others source tree. My suggestion was to avoid work to be done twice for us. It's done on other distro like debian. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
