Just a few thoughts that I wanted to share...

I gave up Ac as some updates/changes were impossible to do or shoudn't 
take place in stable distro (glibc, gcc, kernel, modular xorg). There is 
no way that Ac will be even close to Th without very drastic changes. 
When no one except RM will use Ac then it will probably die after some 
time (like Ra did). Its sad that so many problems exist in current 
stable line (judging from mail lists and opinions that I've received on 
priv). Personally I was only affected by rpm 4.4.9 problems, but "hold = 
rpm*" have fixed them :) Probably all of these issues could be resolved 
before broken packages were moved to updates if enough people would use 
ready tree and report bugs. Remember: if no one is testing pakcages and 
they work ok for RM then they will be moved to updates. Belive me, I know :)

I've started Titanium because (as mentioned above) there was no way to 
force some updates/changes in Ac that I needed. My own fork assures that 
I may change whatever I need and there is no way that someone will force 
me to change that back. Titanium will be very similar to Th as I'm using 
HEAD versions of packages (there are just few exceptions). Basically it 
is and will be "what Hawk needs" as long as I own this fork. I'm just 
sharing work that I'd have to do anyway. I'm also glad that some people 
found Titanium usable, switched to it and are now helping me by sending 
problem reports, ideas etc.

Thanks for reading :)
