The drama aside, why should we want to include a libre kernel in repositories, while as a whole, we don't really care about it? We package Flash, proprietary blobs for kernel, nvidia drivers, repackage projectsfrom prebuilt tarballs, pull non-free assets for games and so on. I really can't see this application in any other way than trying to annoy Parabola, even if you don't intend to be malicious.

Because there are people who don't use (much) proprietary software and still want to benefit from Arch. We are not only a free distribution but I think its a nice addition to have free kernels available. Also another kernel maintainer can make the normal kernel testing faster than it is now. I appreciate the work on free software and we should give users the freedom of choice.
