Bias

Another example: have a look at the response from an Arch developer (back in 2012) when somebody requested a front-page announcement on whether Arch would be moving to systemd [1]:

> we usually don't announce things that are still being discussed or worked on. People who are interested in development and future plans should read arch-dev-public

that would never happen in Debian, where there was an enormous entire-community relatively democratic discussion about that, and it took forever to resolve. Arch, instead, is run by a cabal of a half-dozen developers and barely listen to the community; and most of us who use Arch like it that way :) the `official' explanation for moving to systemd is still this forum post [2].
