Let us see what is exactly the proposal.
Right, this is exactly my view of the proposal: it isn't unreasonable for
an arch to meet the requirements (except from the stated N2/by-new ones
which are controversial). With luna's clarifications I definately
a package to mirrors, have people install it and file
bug reports by hand? (Often these reports are a day later already
out-of-date because it was just a matter of time.) Isn't one of our

Well some differences came out:
- linda has proper l10n strings for most errors (in German)
