Ion removal

I just wanted to say.....

If the guy is being a jerk, I say "good riddance!" to his WM package. Let's fork it for the people who really like it and use it... like what happened with cdrecord -> wodim.

Re: Ion removal

Truthfully, I removed Ion from my harddrive a while ago - simply because this guy is a pr*ck.

I say we don't even fork, but urge users to use a better tiling WM and remove ion from any supported repo altogether(dwm comes to mind, wmii or xmonad might work too)

Re: Ion removal

They've removed it now if you haven't noticed it
I switched to DWM for a long time ago just because the guy seems to be an idiot

Re: Ion removal

lets keep it civil.
the ion developer is entitled to his opinion, and can license his software any way he wishes.
I certainly don't agree with it, and the other arch devs appear to have similar viewpoints, so we have removed it from the repositories. That is all there is to it.

Locking thread.
