This message is a short public service announcement reminding all
current TUs that today is the halfway point of the discussion period on
my application. I know packagers tend to be the easily distracted types
that wander off following the latest shinny thing wherever it leads —
it takes one to know one. I also know the author of *the* most popular
AUR package (not to mention co-author of the second most popular) just
threw his hat in the ring too, but I don't want you to loose your
chance to hold my toes over the fire.

If my existing packages or former FOSS involvement doesn't give enough
fodder for discussion, lets try some unpopular opinions:

* I think most non-library Rust projects would benefit from Autoconf
tooling. Rust is a fantastic language but Cargo is terrible in the role
of distribution tooling.
* Projects that track auto-generated content (such as Autoconf
generated bits) in their VCS should be taken out behind the woodshed
and...
* Non-tiling window managers are mostly just window *observers*, they
clearly aren't *managing* them effectively if they just throw them all
in a pile.
* QWERTY is for mechanical typewriters or the birds, no middle ground.
I use (programmer) Dvorak for English, F for Turkish, and MessagEase on
mobile. I'm considering learning ARTSEY to facilitate computer use
while holding small children.
