First off all, let discuss this subject in peace, so Xavier please
don't be arrogant ok?.

IMHO the vote system can't be the "unique" indicator to move a package
to community, for example, many packages (see from the first to the
seven most voted on unsupported) won't be in community, for many
reasons, even if those are high used/voted.

Plus, exists many packages which won't have many votes and SHOULD be
in community or official repos (those all i18n packages, aspell, etc),
then the vote system can't be the unique indicator so there isn't an
evolution at all..

I think the _problem_ of community is those all TUs who forgot using
AUR then move everything directly to community..
