Myriad.
I applaud it for all things brave - their constant abuse of users trust, constant bugginess and bad decisions, lying about it, and their entire business model being tracking you … etc.
As far as the distro decision and such … practicality probably is what won out because quite simply its extra work that isnt required … there are AUR versions available … and if we are going to ‘adopt’ a package in the repos … it should be kept up to date, and in the case of brave despite them providing up to date binaries - our packagers were simply not uploading the new versions reliably (as no one uses it)…
so it just makes sense to be dropped.
