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.
Hitler was also chosen because of his intelligence and other
credentials. How does this relate? Just because a person is elected
because of "perceived" credentials that you can obviously prove that
they have, does not mean that the person will continue to act in that
fashion. Hopefully they will.
24+ messages in a thread which itself is a split from its original. Nice
to
see that Godwin's Law [1] still applies on "proper" mailing lists in 2012
;-)
Happy new year folks!

Lol Pete. I was actually speaking to Ross about this law when he brought it
to my attention. I didn't even know it existed and I normally tend to
refrain from bringing Hitler into a conversion. Maybe I should have brought
a politician that always promises things, but once elected changes his
views and attitudes.
Happy new year as well.
Nixon ? LOL ;P
