You are right, that the Trusted Users have the final say on what packages get included, I never said otherwise. We obviously can't let everyone in the community have read/write access to the community repo, but the packages that the community members voted for in the AUR, are being looked at by the Trusted Users. That's not a problem to me, and if anything is a sign of a Representative Democracy. In the AUR aspect specifically. -- Jonathan Vasquez
