You appear to have forgotten the history, probably because you weren't there. When I look back, I can trace the rise and fall of arch to two rough events. The first event was when people other than Tom started working on it (back in the late days of larch). That's where sftp and http support came from, a whole pile of bug fixes, and features which 'new' users take for granted as part of arch. Before this it was an interesting experiment; after this it was a serious option for real work. The second event was when Canonical hired most of them and stopped them from working on tla, moving them to their own projects. At that point development on arch more or less stopped. Tom never really had much to do with it, beyond the idea and original design. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
