things in alpine that have driven some doubt for me for some time:- the overall governance situation (not fixed, but maybe marginally improving)- apkv3 file format (i think it is good to use tarstreams, they are not dangerous)- APKBUILDs just feel obsolete compared to melange

the fact that at least one developer stated that disclosing somebody else's publicly-documented conflict of interest is "doxxing"

i think my conclusion is that i want to build something better instead of continue to be a squeaky wheel that people find annoying

the fact that developers spend 90% of their time toiling with manually bumping packages, and this is why we "need" AI contributionsthis stinks. it's bad engineering.

but most importantly, i want to build a community where *nobody* is infallibleone thing i have noticed, again and again and again, is that whenever anyone criticizes ncopa, people will blindly defend himthis is not good

@ariadne Honestly that sounds like an imminently automatable thing, not something you need an AI for though

and to be clear, i have not made a cogent argument for or against LLM contributions in the long tail. i think that we need to move slowly and focus on the fundamentals.when the fundamentals are right, then the LLM argument looks a lot different -- time pressure which encourages LLM usage is reduced, leading to a more reasonable outcome

but what i do have conviction on is that i can't trust projects which have become hooked on commercial LLM coding.the power imbalance is too great of a risk

@dalias distros generally don't do that level of review, we assume good faith from upstreams unless demonstrated that we shouldn't.

@ariadne @dalias You can assume good faith and still need to check if a downstream service/config/patch file needs to change. Stuff like that is not always in release notes (if they exist at all).
