[arch-general] Arch-general is becoming a mess !

[Kyle]

According to Justin Strickland:
> heh seems most of this blaze has to do with users who are unfamiliar with systemd and by convention afraid of it, I suppose the devs could lay down the law and just be like 'this is what arch is going to ship with and this is what we are going to support get over it!' then maybe this'll die down. but thats just my 2 cents.

The problem is that this has already been done, and the devs have even 
posted here to let us know that the initscripts package is *not* going 
away for as long as possible, even before the decision to transition to 
systemd was finalized. In spite of this, the mess didn't "die down," and 
some people on the list have resorted to personal attacks against one of 
the systemd lead developers and other list members in an attempt to sway 
the Arch devs away from systemd rather than even arguing their case 
against systemd based on technical criticisms, most of which can bee 
worked out by reporting bugs through the official channels, including 
the Arch bug tracker[1] and the systemd bug tracker[2]. It is such 
personal attacks against both the developers of systemd and others on 
this list that prompted Tom and other Arch developers to minimize their 
contact with the list, and I for one don't blame them for wanting to 
stay out of the line of fire.
