My point here is that, when things are important to people, you hear talk. For instance, SCIM - I personally have no need for an input method, as I'm a native english speaker... I don't need to type out asian characters or anything like that. However, I *have* heard alot of discussion about scim, and I know what it does. I can say that it is fairly important because I've heard talk of it and know what it's for (without ever having researched it at all - we'll call it viral learning) > > b) No one has brought this up yet in all the history of Arch > Well, that dont prove anything either.

No one said anything about "discussion" - you seem to be misunderstanding something here. I didn't say "no one built this package" or "no one suggested it to judd" - I simply said that no one in all of the history of Arch has said "monitoring my hard drive status is so important it must go in extra/current right away!" _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
