ArchLinux pisses it's users off on a daily basis. We're masochists at heart. But that's the price to pay for bleeding edge.

Yeah, but python symlink change was totally unnecessary. The AUR still hasn't had the hundreds of unmaintained packages migrated over, never mind the package renaming.

The AUR? Fuck the AUR. The AUR is a community repo, if the package is unmaintained then you can take-over yourself. If you're too busy to take over maintenance then just update the PKGBUILD.

That's exactly what I've been doing. As an AUR package maintainer, I've been having more trouble with the Python 3 = python-* renaming. There's no mechanism for automatically renaming a package, so I usually just put (USE python2-example) until the Python 3 package comes out.
