Thank you for your honest answer. 

But I don't think your this tone against me is warranted, I feel it to be even 
condescending a bit.

And I take some issue with you labeling me belligerent, as I don't think it 
holds merit.

Packages on AUR are only useful until they offer something unique. When an Arch 
repo package starts to offer the same, then no matter how much sentimental 
value an AUR package carries, it becomes obsolete. But stating it as such is 
not meant at all as a personal devaluation of the maintainer.

Please kindly don't paint me as some kind of a hostile force, because I am not 
that at all. And the reason I stated my assertions about this package was 
exactly to invoke participation of others in this. They can refute me, they can 
freely express opposing views to mine. But by labeling me pushy just because of 
me taking initiative, that is an ad hominem attack against me actually.

Please think about this dynamic as well, and please please keep me in somewhat 
more in good faith, as I also always try to do so with others.

Thank you very much for your consideration. And again, I appreciate your 
selfless volunteering efforts that you make for this community.

Cheers,
Marcell / MarsSeed

P.s when I started submitting requests relating to conky packages on AUR, there 
was 10-12 in total of them. No one else but me took the time to try to make 
sense of them and try to make some effort in separating the unique and viable 
and needed ones from the ones that are superfluous. I think that my honest 
efforts that I have put into the benefit of this community should earn me some 
credit as well. Just my 2c.
