Before a package can become a core part of the GNU system it must
be rewritten several times in progressively more obscure languages,
repeatedly abandoned by its authors, and finally buried in a
landfill for six years.
It's no coincidence that their code looks like compost.
Arch needs to rot for a good while before it qualifies.
Pitty that isn't true (emacs, gcc, coreutils, ...)... :-)
