What if the opposite of "deferring to a tiny installed base" turns out
to be equivalent to "screwing up the tool so badly that the benefit of
adopting it is lost?"
Anyway: Arch isn't deferring to any tiny installed base. It's just
sticking to what makes the most sense to me. And it's installed base
keeps growing, afaict, so I can't be *all* wrong.
Some people run smack into arch as newbies, experience great
frustration, then emerge as better unix users and better hackers
generally. One small part of that, when it happens, is a shift of
perspective about the various issues that get discussed endlessly on
this list. So, what exactly is it I'm supposed to fix about this?
