Comment:
> I don't see why why have to discuss this at length, nobody disapproved of bringing the packages back when contributors and maintainers wanted to bring them back.

> There was a single person that somewhat objected it in the pull request. And we already accepted that this wasn't good and more maintainers and contributors should have been pinged.

> Literally just because some contributor opened a pull request and there was some chatter on IRC about the packages being outdated and not well maintained or of interest for anymore.

> Nothing was or is being hidden, it was a public pull request by a contributor that was open for 12 days, then it was merged after some approval.

It's awesome that some chatter in a non officially logged IRC chat can create a lot of chaos /s, the communication process failed and it wont be changed magically, this will not be the last time. Also this wonderful new precedent will be used in the future, like how a bad action was used to justify the crypto removal PR. Even if after the fact it was "accepted" that it wasn't good.
I gave this one a heart because they provided an example https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/44422#issuecomment-1659081991

Also the claim in the PR opening comment is false, not all the PRs referenced where dead or tiny unimportant projects.

I am so glad that was so well inspected before approval. /s

> Find a web3 based distributions with NFTs and shit, "crypto people" lol.

See this is what I was fearing, an entire technology will now be marked as irredeemable, because morons and grifters found out and decided to get rich quick and don't even know what it is that they are buying.
I also do not like people buying images of apes (as an investment plan? (it's really stupid agreed)), hell even putting it like that is adding to it, they are not buying "images", they are buying an immutable record of a hash of an image as proof that they ""own"" an image.
I can't wait for the day crypto prices stabilize (won't be soon sadly), it will make them actually useful as a currency.

As for web3 yes most of it is a dumpster fire, a lot of it is actually a privacy nightmare worse then what we have now. But I also do not want to toss out the baby with the bath water. For example Namecoin & ENS are interesting technologies, they provide a solution that gives you all three properties of [Zooko's triangle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle). The current system of centralized DNS is problematic when it comes to censorship.

Any how thank you for insulting me directly, its so nice. Yes thank you for calling me a grifting moron lol!
Your doing a good job adding to the list of quality interactions with the void package maintainers /s

> This avoids people wasting their time writing packages for things nobody with write access has interest in or is going to merge without having interest.

So Void is a not a general purpose operating system and is instead a playpen for only the stuff a few people find interesting?
