This is difficult. I would like to see arm as an official architecture, but I
do not know how feasible that would be! Until it is officially supported I
don't think maintainers (in the AUR) should add it in their PKGBUILDs. It's
not hard for arm users to add the arch manually, and that may work in some (or
most?) cases. Maybe there should be a section in the forum (or Arch ARM forum,
if there isn't already) for people trying to get packages working on arm. I
imagine a lot of maintainers do not have an arm to test, so it's a bit much
to ask them to blindly support it.

> - What do you think of our switch to systemd?

I think it is a good thing. The only problem I see is change in the way we
configure a few things, but we are competent users who can learn something new;
sorry to those who do not like change, or do not like systemd. While I think
some of the configuration is a little more complicated that it needs to be, I
think the switch is adhering to the Arch Way "code-correctness over
convenience"; in that initscripts is a bit of a hack that is hard to maintain
(from what I hear).

> - Which tiling window managers you use?

xmonad and spectrwm/scrotrwm are my favourite. I also tried monsterwm recently
and that looks nice. I like playing with dwm, but I never end up using it for
long. Most often I'm just using terminal stuff so sit in tmux and tile that,
often just inside openbox which plays nicely with GUI stuff on another
workspace.

Ok chaps, time's up. Let's vote:

The vote is still going but we could effectively stop it right there
because it's impossible to change the decision at this point even if
every remaining TU voted "no". Can we stop it at this point?

By act of Pinkie, I declare this candidate to be rejected.

No seriously, I think we have a clause that allows this to end early.
Consults the book of arma^W^W^Wbylaws.

I only skimmed through them [1] but I didn't find any clause permitting
acceptance of the vote before the voting period is over. I remember that we
discussed this here before and I think we came to the conclusion that even if
the result is fixed, we would still wait for everyone to cast their vote, out
of respect. Voting is also used as a measurement of activity so closing the
vote early may interfere with that, even if voting is rarely consider on its
own.

A week is not a long time to wait and it gives everyone the chance to express
their opinion about the candidate, even if the outcome is unchanged.
