Why does the decision for ArchLinux to become a non-profit have ANY
bearing whatsoever on this proposal? It seems we're getting a little
cracked here. Let's all take a step back and look at what we're
talking about here, please

I have more important things to do. If anyone has any serious
questions regarding actual facts, feel free to email me personally.
These mailing list posts are getting way out of hand, and frankly I
just don't care anymore.

It has EVERYTHING to do with the current proposal, Why ? Well because you are having resource concerns and said you spent a bunch of money beefing them up. Now you were looking at code and other things that might be done. Further YOU did say that efficiency was at issue, and that is ALWAYS a trade-off with resources, time and money.

So yeah, this proposal is based on needs, and those needs are based on resources. And you NEED funding to continue to grow. Period.

I am sorry if you feel that Arch linux can continue to grow with what amounts to funding from your income and time form your day. It cannot.
