Oh come on, grow up. Judd wouldnt care. He's got a sense of humour. Even
if he didn't, he's got better things to do than write a stupidly abusive
blog post. Whether Benoit has a sense of humour or not, writing a
violently abusive post like the above is not a proper way of dealing
with the problem. That's how children behave.
I don't support any official endorsement of anyone who is so abusive
unless i see effort to the contrary.

Don't see how it's "personal convenience" - heck, .fr has a better
community feel to it at a glance anyway.
-> .fr has a better look, it follows the regular Arch site.
-> fr.org has a better wiki. posts from .fr could be merged anyway.
-> the planets could be merged, .fr's seems more community friendly
anyway.
-> .fr repo could be tidied, possibly seperated into specifically
french, and general packages
-> fr.org has a gallery, this is a nice addition.
-> fr.org is a one man project. not good. Given the seemingly large
french community, there's no excuse to not have more people.
If the two projects can't grow up and work together like adults, then I don't
think the Arch project will endorse either. I won't. This isnt a matter
of 'selection'.
