ITwrx.org, health? AL is not an organism, it is an OS. what you meant to say is problems. yes, it is true. there are a few problems, but these problems were not caused by a lack of funds. these are the reasons there are problems: 1. there are a few AL TMs (team members), that wanted to become, became, and still are AL TMs because they are selfish. these TMs are here, because they want to indirectly benefit financially from this membership, and/or for the 'bragging rights', and/or because they want to continue to have the 'power' that an AL TM has. the rest of the TMs are here because they care about AL, the community, and progress. 2. both groups of AL TMs have different workloads and not always a lot of free time. changes in circumstances can and will determine how much work must be done and how much free time a TM has to do AL work. 3. ignorance and/or stupidity. now, the good thing is that these problems have solutions. one of the things we can do to help solve these problems (and make their workloads smaller), is with user sign-offs.[1] this way, Tobias Powalowski, for example, will stop placing the linux pkg in testing for stable minor releases. _ [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2016-June/041510.html

Unlikely that being an Arch Linux team member gains much for an ego in regards to adorn oneself with plumes, regarding power or that it's very useful to indirectly benefit financially. It's moreover much unlikely that not just one, but a few team members suffer from such bizarre narcissism. This thread started with questioning the overall health of Arch. So far this is just based on the emotion of a few users, who consider the hiccups they experience as dramatic, serious issues. IOW so far it was just pathetic. Now you come and claim that there are "problems" and the first reason, among other reasons are disordered team members. You don't provide any evidence for this claim. This is the lowest level of polemic. Could we please stop this thread? IMO it's going too far now. There's nothing wrong with pointing to real problems. You could do this by opening a new thread, but please without conspiracy theories. If there should be bizarre team members, the other team members are likely able to notice this and to resolve this without a discussion by users.
