In this particular case, ask upstream (as also pointed out on the bug tracker). Arch Linux does not patch software or deviate from its default behaviour unless absolutely necessary (usually in case of bugs that make an application unusable). Also, from what I have seen, even Debian and Fedora eventually go with upstream for these kinds of changes (at least that was the case for the `ls` output style in coreutils >=8.25 - Debian users only recently also got to see the super-cool new default for --quoting-style). An personal advice from my side, as I have also been burnt by that: Don't try to discuss Arch Linux packaging decisions. There is nothing you can really do. The least frustrating approach is to simply package stuff your own and fix the things that annoy you (and from what I see, you're already doing that). Best, Tinu
