I think this has all its past and we should just go on and fix our Distribution. He reminds me a bit of Torvalds, from what I've heard. It has its pro and its cons. We should use those suggestions, as they are really helpful. Actually it is really good to have someone carefully reviewing and watching our PKGBUILDs.
