@olympia, I may have misspoken when I said many users came on the forums complaining their system didn't work. Thinking back, most came on the IRC channel. There were probably 3-5 per week for awhile. As for you asking me "personally several times" I only remember talking with you about it once. I described the portions I wasn't pleased with and why. I don't go following forum threads or any nonsense like that. So, if you posted in one thinking I was keeping track of it, I apologize, but there's always PM.
We will of course get a guide which we approve of up in this one's place ASAP. It will not however involve compiling anything, downloading random scripts, or hacking at config files. This level of linux has no place in our wiki, the margin for error and potential for disaster is just too great. It will instead likely be based around the new xsession file and autologin at the DM. Sure, some will want a more *stripped* build. But Team XBMC has no aspirations of providing the how to or supporting such a method.
So in other words it was never about the so called "bad parts" of the guide that you deemed to be incorrect, you just didn't want this kind of setup in the first place. That would explain why you never told those who could edit it what needed to be changed. Thanks for using the excuse that it was full of bad practices as the lie. Your original excuse no longer adds up and I can no longer trust your reasons for removing it since you lied in the first place.
