>From pacman POV, diversity makes sense. Although looking at it from Arch side of things, I see a few tidbits: - doas is relatively new - landed in 2019 - community package, while pacman is core (and all it's other deps are core) - no wiki page I don't see a patch which mentions doas in the makepkg manpage? Perhaps we should add something... might even mention sudo/su while in there ;-) HTH Emil
