I can see where this is going. Once, I can respond to you to reassure
you that I am not a troll (for mentioning the word "Ubuntu", or
something -- never mind it is your Ubuntu-centric thread)... twice is
getting a bit ridiculous already.

If you cannot figure out how your own references indicate that the
person you specifically called out as an official Ubuntu person (email
address and all), who is "deeply involved in working on snappy", and
probably knows a whole lot about his own distro even if he is clueless
about Arch, is worth at least mentioning as a potential proof to
anything... then you are further gone than I thought.

I am also dreadfully confused as to who you are accusing of being
clueless about apt. I thought that was supposed to be me, but now it
seems you are accusing Mr. Grawert. Which in the context of this
discussion is an accusation directly out of left field.
Which is so this thread, really. Implications, accusations,
proclamations, etc. out of left field, with no one really sure of why we
are supposed to care or what the point is supposed to be.

This whole thread was a waste of time, and getting worse. Please don't
respond to this email, as I can already predict any reply of yours would
be a waste of time to read, and therefore I shan't bother.
