Thank you for the packages you do maintain!
I don't want to seem unappreciative for the work developers like yourself and others do; packages or not.
I'm not a developer, but a Linux/systems person who happened to learn packaging. Mostly because I got tired of building from source, and figured others were too.
As a maintainer it is easy for me (and others) to trivialize this, as compared to actually writing the much more complicated software. It's not right, and I think we could all use more understanding.
I see a meme that 'packaging is hard', and while very rigid/plain, it's not actually that tough.
Priority is another matter, I just don't want this notion of difficulty to unfairly sway that priority. Many of the concepts reapply, like languages. The tooling/services have improved a lot
I'm not too familiar with Rust, unfortunately. What would you say makes Arch stand out in particular?
How do you feel about Fedora?
