While I am at it, lets see why your arguements just grepping for "enable|disable" etc are idiotic. Take the gcc PKGBUILD:
i have pointed out myself that those do not form a valid argument. Trying to disprove my other points by doing that _again_ does not work.
I personally think your mis-reading the "Arch Way". We do not patch to add features that are not supported upstream but I have never seen anything mentioned about using minimal configure flags.
Let me quote "the arch way 2.0" which has a very nice condensed statement that does in fact support minimalism: " without unnecessary additions, modifications, or complications Simplicity is the primary principle. All other principles must be sacrificed in favor of design simplicity. Implementation simplicity is more important than interface simplicity. " Please provide an interpretaton of this statement that does support enabling features for the sake of interface simplicity, breaking design simplicity in the process.
So you filed bug reports about this?
I can, for the sake of disarming that as counter argument. I can't see how this adds anything to the original points though. -- Arvid Asgaard Technologies
