I remember Skype used to be in multilib, and that wasn't even open source. I didn't expect this much of a reaction. Sorry if this isn't the place to discuss things like that. i was purposefully trying to make it clear that i was not trying to give you a hard time(maybe i did a poor job of that), while at the same time responding with my honest perspective on the matter b/c i felt the topic was important. I, generally speaking, don't agree with having any proprietary software in official repos but i'm not the one doing the work/packaging and i've never really even looked into it well enough to state an educated opinion, so i've never said anything about that, IIRC. I have no hard feelings towards you, it's hard for any of us to say anything that won't be taken wrong in or be in violation of someone's delicate sensibilities in a mailing list, especially with heated topics. It might be more accepted to post about aur packages in aur-general, though. I unsubscribed to aur-general due to discussions on software i wasn't using, etc.
