[arch-releng] [PATCH] Remove joe editor from package list
joe was added in 5980b62d4b2017181d19db02734286becd2937cb, mainly because I liked it. Since then, I have matured and started using vim. Thomas still uses it, but he's always been special. Joe has recently been moved to the AUR. And when devs make such decisions it's usually deserved. Furthermore, promoting joe through the install cd was never a great choice anyway, it's not a big improvement over nano anyway and I wouldn't want to make people waste time with it they could otherwise invest in vim.

Hey, don't remove this. I am going to re-add 'joe' into extra - the only reason it was removed is it was orphan and I missed the removal email :(

are you sure this is the way to go? I just checked https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics, picked out random packages with similar usages as joe and every single of them is in AUR. (lash, gxine,grub-gfx, pure-ftpd, mongodb, moodbar) So I would say it's not undeserved. And either way, joe's usage on pkgstats is much smaller then nano and vim, so I still think we better leave it off the archiso images. Dieter
