Hi all,
To get this moving along, I would like to start the official
discussion period. Standard rules, 5 days discussion, 7 days voting,
75% quorum. If discussion raises some points which really need to be
addressed before a vote then it can be delayed.
Abhishek has mad a good summary with some additions by Loui at
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community_move_to_devtools .
I am very much in favour of this move as it will allow use to use
[testing] for community packages, which remove the current problems we
have during big rebuilds. It also means that any other changes made
to the repos (e.g. arch=any packages, delta support to name my
favourites) only needs to be made in one place. I also like the idea
of the AUR being just unsupported packages and (despite not actually
contributing code to the AUR) I have the feeling that this separation
would make AUR development cleaner.
Loosing the ability for users to leave comments about a package on the
AUR is not a big deal for me as I think most of these should probably
go to the bug tracker where they will not get lost. The concern about
autonomy of the TUs is difficult for me to judge being a dev too, but
given ~1/3 TUs are devs...

Sounds good to me. +1
