What if the post_upgrade() message gives the users the sed command to run?
Seems kind of pointless.
Who cares about the users? Arch has been a distro that is made the way the developers want it, not the users. The users just reap the benefits of all the developers hard work. It seems as if more devs care about the users, especially the new users. We get lucky if you (the devs) listen to us. So what if we loose 50% of the user base? Does that really matter?
What the developers want, at least me, is not spend the next two weeks being bitched at because philosophy forbids us to change a file automatically.
Back in the day, the devs got their way. They listened to user input, but more times than not they did what they wanted. They didn't give a squat about the users. IMHO this was one of the qualities that made arch great! And know it is disappearing.
In fact, it is not disappearing. I'll just listen to what you said, then ignore it and get it my way. I beat you with your own logic, how nice is that?
It is sad to see arch turning into just another distro. The many things that made arch great are dissolving. :-(
Oh my god, Arch is becoming one of those distros that will actually reboot after an upgrade.
Anyway, I will go with whatever the rest says. If it's really necessary to be narrow-minded about our own philosophy, then I won't stand in anyone's way. You see, my own computer still works - as always.
