You know, it's really hard to take you seriously (or not being angry at
you) when you keep insulting Arch developers like this, especially when
one considered that all of your "demands", your complains, is really
nothing new. 

"Arch is not minimalist enough?" "Arch is no longer being
KISS?" These are all ages-old complains that have been discussed and
debunked to death a lot of time before. 

The only _new_ things about your... "rant" are the unprecedented
rudeness and the grudge that you've seem to harbor against some of the
devs.

Seriously, no one from the dev team should have to put up this...
