Oh this is hard to read. Foxboron was a massively positive force for Arch Linux and the Linux ecosystem in general! I discovered his ssh-tpm-agent https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent a few months ago and it is really nice!

Indeed. Hopefully whoever steps up is equally as positive.

AI takes down more humans again. Skynet is winning.

Props to him for that almost decade of time investment. My attention span and lack of patience would have perpetually disqualified from maintainer on any linux distribution. The trade-off never seemed to be worth the effort either.

Not even saying you are wrong, but the linked article does not appear to support your premise that AI was related to this decision at all.

Is there further evidence you have that specifically relates to the specific decision of this particular dev to step down from Arch?

As you yourself say, being a maintainer is a big commitment, one that many people naturally tire of as their interests, goals and other life needs change over time.
