[arch-general] People that depend on Arch, etc deserve to die? - Allan McRae - Clarifications

[Jonathan Vasquez]

Hello everyone,

I was reading the package signing discussion that was going on over at the
[pacman-dev] mailing list
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2011-February/012483.html

and Allan said the following:

"I think I know every distribution using pacman as a package manager and

(unless there is an enterprise level distro I am missing) if peoples
lives depend on one of these distros, then I am sorry to say it but in
my opinion they are stupid and deserve to die."


I wanted to know what was he trying to say? Is he saying that Arch and
other Arch-like distros aren't serious distros that aren't meant for
production? I mean I understand that Arch is rolling release and all
that, but it's packages are marked stable by their corresponding
upstreams.

What are your opinions about this?
